direct metaphor

Explanation:

Direct metaphor is a literary device that shows one thing or distinct quality as something else.

It is different from a simile because a simile makes use of "like" and "as" to compare two distinct things.

A direct metaphor can say "He is a lion" while a simile would say "He is like a lion".

Direct metaphor openly reveals one thing as something else.
