It is a parable but it's not using a mythical picture of suffering in fire. It's a real kind of scenario. But it's not teaching about hell. it's teaching about the Pharisees and how they are like the rich man who fared sumptuously on esteem of men. But God looked away from him. That's why it says the brothers were still alive. It's not Revelation 20 at all.
