What metaphors are used in Right You Are, If You Think You Are by Luigi Pirandello?

The first act is set in the drawing room of Agazzi's home. Laudisi listens with increasing impatience as Amalia and Dina tell him with increasing intensity and insistence how strange the situation in which they find themselves has become. A subordinate of Agazzi's, who is also a subordinate of the Prefect (a chief justice or sheriff), has rented an apartment in their building for his mother-in-law. The woman refused to allow them into her home when they paid a call. Laudisi asks whether that's a good enough reason for them to lodge a formal complaint with Agazzi about his subordinate's behavior. Amalia says it's an awful way for two women to be treated, adding that they were only trying to make the woman feel welcome since she's new in town. Dina admits that theywere there partially out of curiosity, speaking metaphorically about how curiosity is natural.
