of this reoccurring behavior can be compared to The Trial, how K was treated “like a dog.” There is an episode in Breaking Bad called “Kafkaesque,” where different themes come together between Breaking Bad and The Trial. I argue that Vince Gilligan had The Trial in his mind while creating and plotting Breaking Bad, and tried to connect to the theme of power vs. subservience by the use of The Trial. The term, “Kafkaesque,” refers to Franz Kafka, in how he created worlds with burden, guilt, isolation

Kafka’s The Metamorphosis In Franz Kafka’s novella, The Metamorphosis, the travelling salesman Gregor Samsa wakes up one morning, in his family’s home, to find “himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin” (Kafka 3). While this immediate physical change, supported by ensuing physical imagery, suggests that the “metamorphosis” introduced in the title is purely physical, other interpretations are also possible. When the reader relies upon the extended and embedded metaphors present in this

Santiago on his quest to not only follow his Personal Legend, but also to discover a world full of changes and transformations. Looking at this story at first glance might give you the feel that it will be about a boy on a quest filled with the expected trials that test his heart, strength, and character. Elements like this are present, however, the story makes the reader think deeply about the motif dealing with following the signs the universe gives. This is due to various symbols and motifs, one having

In his parable Before the Law, Franz Kafka suggests that obstacles that one faces in life can either be used to mold one’s success or bring about one’s failure. If one can overcome challenges that they face they grow in a unique type of way, for every individual perceives each situation in a distinct fashion. That unique type of growth is what establishes a person’s character and perception of the world. However if one cannot overcome their obstacles, then they cut of their means for growth and are

disgusted when they see what he has become, so they lock him up and stay as far away from him as possible. Only his sister has the courage to bring Gregor his meals, but even then she can only enter Gregor’s room while he is hiding under a sheet (Kafka 29). Eventually, Gregor can not stand being so hated by his family. He bursts into his living room during dinner in the hopes that his family will understand what he has been going through. Instead, the borders renting out the apartment flee from

he reflects humanity’s endless search for a purpose in life. When Merusault is taken to court for the killing of the Arab, the court attempts to provide a logical explanation for the irrational events that go on. Meursault believes that the entire trial is an example of absurdity because humankind attempts to impose rationality on a universe that is irrational. These events leave a direct reason as to why Meursault finds life to be meaningless and becomes more of an observant of others peoples lives

Every day, I borrowed two books from my school’s library: one fiction, one nonfiction. Apart from when I chose heavy brick­like epics, I’d read those two books the same night and would return them the next day. Until my early middle school years, I read almost religiously, eager to learn and experience new fictional worlds. It even got to the point of my mom threatening to remove the bulb from my bedroom lamp in order for me stop replacing sleep with reading. The rigorous academic­induced schedule

“He who despairs of the human condition is a coward, but he who has hope for it is a fool” (Wyatt). As this quote by Albert Camus suggests, he was not a very optimistic writer. His gloomy look on life itself can be seen all too clearly in “The Guest”. The story itself deals with Camus’s idea of the futility of human existence: the only rational thing anyone can expect is death. Camus’s underlying philosophy is revealed from the very beginning of the story. The French title, “L’hote”, translates
