“Like a Rolling Stone” uses imagery and metaphors to portray issues with social transformation and differences in social class. Dylan’s emphasis on the differences in social classes is expressed through comparisons in lifestyles. It seems like he is talking to the higher class of society, for example, saying “you never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns”. “You” seems to be towards the more privileged, who has money for such entertainments (the jugglers and clowns). He follows it with “you never understood that it ain’t no good”, which shows how he is aware of the difference in attitudes towards life between the social classes. Because of this, it seems like he is protesting the arrogance which is common within the people of the higher classes, and how there should be a change in how people interact with each other – there should still be some unity regardless of class, to solve political issues. He also uses an assertive tone to show that change and social transformation is inevitable – he says “Nobody’s ever taught you how to live out on the street/And now you’re gonna have to get used to it”. The use of “Gonna have to” shows the reality of change, regardless of what an individual wants it to happen or not. The comparison also reminds the audience of difference in social class, and how people still manage to live with less things than the higher class, and some pain must occur for change to occur.
