Intended Audience

The intended audience of this song is extreme followers, people that assume they know Eminem personally because they love his work when, in reality, those fans have never truly met Eminem.

Theme

The main theme of this song is Obsession because Stan develops an obsessive addiction out of his deep admiration for Eminem. His obsession with Slim (Eminem) causes him to become obsessed with the rapper and lose sight of reality and himself.

Irony

The irony within the song lies in the fact that Stan thinks he knows everything about Eminem, when in fact the who have never met, and neither of them know anything about the other.

metaphor

In this case, the metaphor I used was, "I'm just like you, I'm sorry, I can't reply, I've been so busy lately, I haven't had the time to write"

In this metaphor, Stan the fan, compares his obsession with Eminem's life and emotional struggles, and is convincing himself that him and the rapper (Stan) are similar or connected to a pretty extreme extent.
