Semantics. There was probably never a prophet named Jonah, and if there was, he most certainly could not survive three days in the belly of a fish/whale/aquatic behemoth. Same goes for Jesus; if he was real, then he probably didn't rise after three days of being dead. However, Drich is correct that the analogy is sound.
The moral of the story: analogies can be valid all day long, but, in the end, if they don't reflect reality with real consequences, then why should we care about them? And if Jesus is an archetype of the Jonah story, it just goes further to prove how fabricated his claims of divinity really are.
