Metaphors Metonymy and Synecdoche

the claws of a jackel thrust deep inside my mind. a sickly sight for my blind eyes.

I believe that it is more likely to be situational irony.

Also the reason why the title itself is ironic is because Tolstoy usually likes to end his stories with a sense of shock and aw. More aw than shock, but for example in the end of the story when Pahom successfully returns to the checkpoint he has unfortunately died. When his servant comes to him, he digs him 6 feet of dirt, which is all he needed.

Tolstoy's irony is that even though Pahom bought ALL of the land that he did in his past, he really only needed 6 feet for his grave.

Rain being used in a metaphor is common and an easy metaphor. Here is one of the more popular or common metaphors used relating to 'rain'. If you were describing a sad person you could take the sentence, "She cried," and switch it around. You first should start small with a simile; "When she cried it was like rain." Then make it a metaphor and as you know a metaphor does not use 'like' or 'as'. "Her crying was rain," or something similar pertaining to rain or perhaps other weather conditions. Using 'rain' as a metaphor is quite easy plus you can explore the other weather metaphors!

Implied metaphor is when it gives you the metaphor but doesn't tell what the subject is. A regular metaphor tells you the subject of it.

We can assume that the quarterback didn't really throw the ball a mile, he just threw it a great distance, and it is an exaggeration to call that distance a mile, and that qualifies as a metaphor. Of course, there are also various science fiction and fantasy contexts in which that statement could be meant literally.
