Three episodes from a Western Yavapai variant of the Athabascan story of Monster Slayer are analyzed to illustrate the importance of "implicit" metaphors in the structuring of key symbols in narratives. Bears, juniper trees, and deer were found to be organized into implicit metaphors reflecting fundamental contrasts that are an inherent part of Western Yavapai domestic life. Such metaphors make personally accessible to the listener the inherent ambiguities of marriage without direct expression of these disruptive sentiments
