Yes. Your heart didn't literally swell. Pride isn't like cholesterol. The word "like" isn't written, but it's implied.

Yes it is. And anna, you're referring to a similie. A metaphore does NOT use like or as.

"Drowning in money" is a metaphor. You are comparing being buried in money to swimming, two unlike things without using "like" or "as."

No. but close. you are defining the acion of the heart, not the heart itself. It does however use rhetorical strategy. That would be a cliche

no. It's personification.
A metaphor is: "she's the wind in my tree."
A similie is: "She is like the wind in my tree."
Personification is giving human-like qualities to an object or a 'thing.'
