Answer:

In the summer of 1816, Mary Shelley visited Geneva Lake (Switzerland) and spent her days in Switzerland with Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, and Dr. John Polidori. One day, after reading a collection of German short stories, called Fantasmagoriana, they decided to write their own short, supernatural stories.

Her story was called Frankenstein. Mary Shelley decided to convert her story into a novel, so she continued to write it until she finally completed the novel in 1817. The novel was first published anonymously, in 1818.

Answer:

Metaphor.

Explanation:

Metaphor is elucidated as the literary device that includes a comparison of two distinct and literally inapplicable ideas to invoke an implied similarity between them that assists in explaining or clarifying the idea.

In the given example, the use of 'cup' to describe 'endurance', 'abyss' to 'injustice', 'bleakness and corroding' to depict the 'despair' exemplify the unrelated, literally inapplicable, and implied comparison to reveal the similarities between them that helps the author to clarify the idea more effectively. Thus, 'metaphor' is the correct answer.
