Analysis Of Metamorphosis By Franz Kafka

     Throughout the story there is a metamorphosis that is taking place in his home. He has traded places with the family and is now living the life they had previously embelished in. His father begins to work along with his sister and his mother must now work and do the cooking and cleaning. Gregor on the other hand does nothing but daydream, crawl, and nap through his days. One ironic statement from his sister “He must go, if this were Gregor he would have realized long ago human beings can’t live with such a creature, he’d have gone away one his own accord. This creature persecutes us, drives away our lodgers, obviously wants the whole apartment to himself, and would have us all sleep in the gutter.” How selfish of her, had he not taken care of them and he was not the only one working

Everyone has people they depend on. People that he or she knows will always be there when they’re needed. But what happens when those people just don’t show up or just all of a sudden stop caring? The feeling of loneliness can break down a person’s character and reduce him to a shell, or in this case and exoskeleton, of who he once was. We can see this in The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. When Gregor Samsa finds himself transformed into a giant beetle-like creature, what he needs more than anything is the love and support of his family, but he disgusts them. They shut him up in his room so that no one can see him. They are ashamed of him, and quickly forget that he was part of their own flesh and blood. All that they can see is the monster that appears on the on the outside. Gregor’s sister and parents betray his love for them and leave him feeling lonely in the most terrifying and desperate time of his life.

However the central theme of the masterpiece “The Metamorphosis” is change. The novel illustrates the idea of change and transformation through its main character Gregor Samsa who transforms into a large insect. The real

In the metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, there are significant actions and transformations which make the story sad, and strange with a happy ending. Explanations that are dramatic events that intensify the excitement of all these actions. Reality and reflection play an important role in this story because the events that happened could be applied and assimilated with modern society.

In The Metamorphosis Franz Kafka tells the story of a young man named Gregor who observes the radical changes in his life after transforming into an insect. Gregor’s life was centered on his job as a traveling salesperson and his family. One morning Gregor woke up transformed into an insect. Afraid of the transformation Gregor stays in his room and ignores calls from his family. When Gregor realized that his new body did not allow him to have a normal life, he tried to adapt. After his metamorphosis, Gregor is abandoned by his family and only maintains a small relationship with his sister Grete, who is in charge of serving and provide him with food, but always leaving some distance because of his ugly appearance.

Everyone experiences change in one way or another, whether it be getting married, aging, or even changing apperance. In the book, Metamorphosis, Franz Kafka morphs the main character, Gregor into a giant bug. Gregor's transformation will begin to test each relationship with his family members. Kafka portrays Gregor and his sister, Grete's relationship through the use of limited perspective and symbols. By doing so, Kafka will show the transition of affection Grete has towards Gregor.

Ever since the metamorphosis, Gregor’s perception of himself begins to change as his family sees a bug more than their own son. Gregor does nothing but lock himself in his room.

"Work like this is for more unsettling than business conducted at home and then I have the agony of traveling itself to contend with worrying: unpalatable meals and human intercourse"(Kafka, 1915 p. 1881) Gregor was a man that scarifies everything to work to pay his father debts instead of starting an life to prospered for himself. Gregor felt that need to obliged "to save enough pay back what my parents owe"(Kafka, 1915 p. 1881) With all the effort that Gregor had did for his family he was never recognized, the story explain as thought he was taking for granted, was expected to take care of his family, and wasn't consider to take care of his wants and needs. The time that his family seen him financially was when he became an bug. When Gregor awoke one morning from a dream that's when he found himself transformed into a gigantic insect "Metamorphosis". Gregor's sister (Grete) plays the role as a helper to her brother and a savior. "Gregor sister began to sob"(Kafka, 1915 p.1885) She was at time very consistently to go into Gregor's room but she never liberates Gregor from his metamorphosis and at the conclusion of the story his sister justice a little more selfishness, betrays, and abandons for her own self-interest when he became inconvenience instead been a helper she

Kafka's "Metamorphosis" addresses how economics and humanity intertwine with each other in todays society. Specifically, Gregor's job and Gregor's relationship with his family. At first, Gregor was acceptive of his job status, although he wanted more. Gregor was concerned about loosing his job and not being able to pay his father's debt. Gregor was more troubled about how his boss would react to him loosing sales than his health. This was probably true because the lack of a sale and medical bills would have cost his boss alot of money. He made a reference to the insurance doctor who believes everyone are malingers. Although harsh, economics plays a big part in societies treatment of each other. The more money you have the better humane treatment

throughout the story. After listening to this piece, I listen to more music from Glass to see if he adapted other stories into a song, just like he did with, “The Metamorphosis.” It turns out that Glass really does know how to tell a story with a song. He perfectly incorporates a story’s emotions and main idea into a song. People can actually go back and read the story again, but with a song playing in the background, that actually relates to the story.

In The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka there were many conflicts. Out of all the conflicts the most important conflict is that Gregor Samsa turned into a giant bug. This was a big problem for him and for his family.

Dictators. We all know them. They are evil people that sneak into power and eliminates everyone that is different. Hitler is a very well know dictator. He came to power and started to gather up all the Jews because they were different and were living better than the rest of the Germans. Most of the people persecuted couldn’t help being related to a Jew and yet their pleas for mercy were ignored. Franz Kafka’s novella is not about a dictator but it alludes to a person close to Franz that was as close to a dictator that he ever go to. Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, is about a young man that wakes up one day and is a vermin and has to maneuver around his home and come to terms with his six itchy legs. It probably sounds like a load of fictitious ramblings that somehow became a classical novel. Wrong! Look a little closer and the secret message Franz Kafka wrote for his father will slowly emerge from in between the lines. In his secret message, Kafka evinces that a dictator will be a person’s end if he or she does not stand up and defend. He hides his message while also utilizing Gregor’s sister through her indirect and direct actions.

Metamorphosis is a change of the form or nature of a thing or person into a completely different one. Franz Kafka’s novella, is about how the change in Gregor’s form revealed his family’s feelings. By looking at The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, one can she the real tragedy of the bug in the bedroom is the family’s dependence on Gregor and the effect this dependence had on him.

Do you after wonder what would it be like to be an insect? Getting transformed and having to run for your own life, while getting apples thrown at you? Reading The Metamorphosis by Fanz Kafka made me see what can really happen in a dysfunctional family after reading the short story. I will be writing a visual analysis paper, analyzing The Metamorphosis on the visual context plus the images that is going on in the shorty story.

“A few years ago, a 24-year-old boy seeing out from the train’s window shouted ‘Dad, look the trees are going behind us!’ As his Dad smiled, a young couple sitting nearby, looked at the 24-year old’s childish behavior with pity, when suddenly he again exclaimed, ‘Dad, look the clouds are running with us!’ The couple couldn’t resist and said to the old man. ‘“Why don’t you take your son to see a good doctor?’ The old man smiled and said, ‘I did and we are just coming from the hospital, my son was blind from birth and he just got his eyes today’” (Anonymous). The significance of this story is to not pass judgment on one by their activities or appearance, rather first find out about them and assess them all through the procedure. In the short novella The Metamorphosis, author Franz Kafka introduces the experience of being an outsider. In the story, a traveling salesman named Gregor Samsa undergoes a major change in his life. After waking up one morning, he discovers that he has morphed into a venomous bug. His sudden change makes those in his society decipher their view on him, due to misjudgment. As they misjudge his appearance and actions, things worsen and the idea of him having no human value tightens. This proceeds to Gregor state of mind becoming one that is about rethinking his past life and choices, ultimately leading to his death. While some outsiders suffer from the act of misunderstanding, the larger number of outsiders are simply misjudged due to lack of
