In 2005, Prison Break of Season One witnessed the 18,000,000 audience rating in dull season in America for the unique artificial charm in America. One of the most important reasons of success lies in the frequent and sufficient use of metaphor which strengthens the artificial power tremendously. Metaphor is a very important technique of imagination, which reflects one concept to another concept and plays a very important role in the course of human’s perception for the world. In the drama, tattoo, escaping group, paper crane, etc., all reflect the author’s insight for the society, revolt, and protest, expressing his pursuit and yearning for freedom, love, and family.
