What is דימוי?

Balance is key. Strong imagery enhances a scene; overloading every sentence with metaphors or sensory detail can slow pacing and distract. Aim for vivid anchors at important emotional beats and simpler language during action or transitions.

Characters notice different things—one might fixate on smells and textures, another on light and color. Repeating certain sensory details (a character who always notes the hum of a room, or the texture of fabric) becomes part of their voice and reveals priorities, anxieties, or desires without telling.

Not exactly. Description can list facts about a place or object; imagery uses sensory, often figurative language to evoke feeling and atmosphere. Good description becomes imagery when it connects detail to emotion or perspective.
