A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two things. Similes differ from metaphors by highlighting the similarities between two things using words such as "like" or "as", while metaphors create an implicit comparison. This distinction is evident in the etymology of the words: simile derives from the Latin word simile, while metaphor derives from the Greek word metaphor in. While similes are mainly used in forms of poetry that compare the inanimate and the living, there are also terms in which similes are used for very important things.
A parable is a succinct, didactic story, in prose or verse, that illustrates one or more instructive lessons or principles. It differs from a fable in that fables employ animals, plants, inanimate objects, or forces of nature as characters, whereas parables have human characters. A parable is a type of metaphorical analogy.
Literal and figurative language is a distinction within some fields of language analysis, in particular stylistics, rhetoric, and semantics.
