"Stan" by Eminem is a song about an obsessive fan who writes him various letters to him. In the first couple of letters, he clearly idolizes Eminem and exhibits an unhealthy level of infatuation with him. As the letters continue being sent, the fan becomes angry that Eminem isn't responding to his letters. The fan became so angry that he ended up killing his pregnant wife and committing suicide. After that, Eminem finally replied. He expressed concern and that he wanted his relationship with the fan to be healthy, then noticed that his fan committed a murder suicide.

The over arching theme of this song is to emphasize that a public image is just an image. Celebrities are just as human as us fans and our relationships with said celebrities should be healthy, not obsessive. We should be inspired by them, but still have boundaries because at the end of the day, we don't know them personally.

the metaphor about the song Stan by Eminem is about Eminem loosing himself in fame and fortunes and that's causing him to become further from the person he used to be i.e. Stan , this causes stand to get angry at slim (Eminem) and to start  lashing out at his girlfriend and eventfully causes Stan to commit murder suicide this could possibly be a metaphor for Eminem's fears about loosing the people he loves

In the rap song stan, Eminem creates a dialog between Slime who is Eminem rap persona and a fan of his named Stanley. Stan writes Slime several letters about the lyrics in his songs, in those letters the audience finds out that stan is having a hard time. Lyrics in Eminem’s songs are creating a serious problem for Stan he is taking them to seriously not understanding that Slime is bending the truth when he raps. One example of irony displayed in the song Stan is at the end. Slime urges Stan to get help then founds out he drove his car off a bridge killing himself and his girlfriend.

Dramatic Irony
"Hey Slim, thats my girlfriend screamin' in the trunk"
"Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now"
"Oh shit, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this shit out"

Tragic Irony
"You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night"
About that guy who could have saved that other guy from drowning"
"That's kinda how this is, you could a rescued me from drowning
Now it's too late"
