Metaphors, such as, "The civilized man has built a coach, but has lost the use of his feet. He is supported on crutches, but lacks so much support of muscle. He has a fine Geneva watch, but he fails of the skill to tell the hour by the sun. A Greenwich nautical almanac he has, and so
being sure of the information when he wants it, the man in the street does not know a star in the sky."

C. Simile and allusion.
Emerson uses various literary devices in "Self-Reliance," such as metaphor, parallelism, and aphorism. Metaphors like "to be great is to be misunderstood" convey his ideas vividly, while parallelism in his repeated phrases emphasizes his points. Moreover, his extensive use of aphorisms makes his writing concise and memorable, allowing readers to easily grasp his individualistic philosophy.
