"He is a pig" is an example of a metaphor. It is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable in order to suggest a resemblance.
It is a simile because it compares two things by using "like" or "as." If we said "Lauren is a pig.", that would be a metaphor because we would not be using "like" or "as" in our comparison.

He hopped like a frog (note: that was a simile, not a metaphor). He ate till he was big and became a pig (the metaphor:Again he didn't magically become a pig; he just ate a lot.)

The poem explores the primal instincts and violent nature of both animals and humans, using the pig as a symbol of raw power and savagery. The pig's physical appearance and behavior are compared to the harsh realities of life and death, emphasizing the brutality of the natural world.
It's like a simile, but without like or as, so an example would be:You are a pig when you eat.If you want a simile with that an example:You are like a pig when you eat.
No. But this would be: Sally was a fat pig. This is a simile: Sally was fat as a pig A metaphor states "X is Y" when X is not actually Y but can be compared to it.
