Hi, I'm new and I don't understand a metaphor:(
Hi, I'm new here:)
I have a problem - aI don't understand the meaning of the following metaphor:
When it was hot and humid, life in Cuba hovered somewhere between absolute misery and "the bath is ready does anyone have some razor blades?" But when it was cold and raining, Cuba was downright unbearable. Tonight was one of those nights.
the quotation was taken form the book by brad Thor.
I don't understand what he (author) meant using the sentence between quotation marks: "the bath is ready does anyone have some razor blades?"
can anyone help me?
If u need some more context, here the whole passage:
