This is because simile is comparison using the words "like" or "as" specifically. Using the word "resembles" DOES NOT make it a simile rather a metaphor
A simile compares two things using the words “like” or “as.”
For example: “My love is like a tree.” — that’s a simile because it uses “like.”
But in the sentence:
“My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath...”
She’s saying her love is like rocks, but not using “like” or “as” directly. Instead, she’s using a strong direct comparison — that makes it a metaphor.
So it’s not a simile because it doesn’t use the words “like” or “as” clearly in the way similes do. It just says her love is like rocks — strong and deep — without those linking words.
