This study extends prior theoretical discussions on metaphor as a rhetorical topos, a discourse statement, and a cognitive tool, with a particular focus on the metaphor of nation due to its enduring relevance in contemporary discourse. It explores the intricate role of metaphor in shaping, perpetuating, and challenging nationalist discourse, recognizing that metaphors possess a dual capacity to both wield power and constrain truths. The metaphors of the nation, contextualized within the CONTAINMENT metaphor framework, play a pivotal role in the construction and reinforcement of nationalist discourse. From a feminist perspective, nationalist discourse and its associated metaphors are deeply rooted in patriarchal ideals, leading to the marginalization of women and the portrayal of the nation as a patriarchal family or brotherhood. When viewed through colonial and postcolonial lenses, these metaphors reveal concepts of hierarchy and equality between nations. For instance, Rabindranath Tagore metaphorically characterizes the nation as a soulless monster, emphasizing the imperative to reject this notion in favor of fostering a more balanced community that harmonizes both body and spirit. In contrast, Thomas Hobbes employs the metaphor of the commonwealth as a Leviathan, firmly establishing a hierarchical structure that underscores the significance of obedience in the relationship between the soul and the body of the commonwealth, with the soul positioned as superior to its constituent elements. Tagore’s perspective aligns with notions of equality, anti-nationalism, and postcolonialism, whereas Hobbes’ hierarchical view could potentially justify the legitimacy of colonialism.
