The selected answer is wrong:

A metaphor is a figure of speech that refers, for rhetorical effect, to one thing by mentioning another thing.[1] It may provide clarity or identify hidden similarities between two ideas. Antithesis, hyperbole, metonymy and simile are all types of metaphor.[2] One of the most commonly cited examples of a metaphor in English literature is the "All the world's a stage" . the answer is metaphor, for example tunde is a lion on the battle field.

REF: wikipedia

simile make used of as or like
