Throughout the ages, both of these forces have attempted to control its individuals on the premises of providing stability, security, and social acceptance.

    “It is not stress that kills us, it is our reaction to it,” states Hans Selye. In The Metamorphosis, the novella by Franz Kafka and the graphic novel by Peter Kuper, Gregor Samsa does not react well to the daily stress of life. The stress causes him to feel isolated from others. The daily stress of Gregor Samsa’s work, family, and personal life choices are the reasons for his feelings of isolation.…

    In the beginning of the story Gregor is described as “squirming” (3) and “shocked to hear his own voice,” (5) which resembles his struggle of finding out who he is because he has turned into what family/society wants him to be. The fact that he is “shocked to hear his own voice” justifies that Gregor is not only confused on he has become, but it exposes the reality that Gregor never voices his concerns on being someone he isn’t. It startles him to realize that he is a prisoner within his own body and can’t figure out who he has become, which Kafka makes the reader feel sympathy for him because of his confusion in his mind. Towards the middle of the story Gregor “inconsistently darted madly” (18) around the room when his father was chasing him, which symbolizes Gregor’s chaotic state of trying to live up to his father’s approval because he “didn’t want to let his family down” (11) and how he feels “useless in his present state” (27). Kafka describes Gregor as “simply happy” when Gregor finds solitude in his own body, which shows that Gregor can accept who he is only in his bug form and doesn’t dwell too heavily on the expectations that has been set before him, which makes him authentic because he doesn’t feel he needs to meet his family’s expectations anymore (32).…

    There are many autobiographical elements in Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, as striking similarities and parallels can be drawn between Gregor Samsa and Franz Kafka, whose names are very similar in letter count and sound. This use of name parallel is common for autobiographical fiction, as seen in Bioshock’s parallel to Atlas Shrugged, employing the use of Andrew Ryan in stead of Ayn Rand. The family and situation depicted in The Metamorphosis mirrors that of Kafka’s real life. Like Gregor, Kafka disliked his authoritarian father, and felt compelled to work a job he disliked in order to financially support his family.…

    Gregor’s orthodoxy essentially makes him a mindless individual, without any thoughts of his own. Without exploring his own feelings, he is unable to find his identity and continues to lack meaning. “He was a creature of the boss’s, spineless and stupid” (Kafka 12). The mechanized manner of Gregor’s work forces him to sacrifice any chance of individuality he has in order to conform to his boss’s expectations, and therefore the expectations of the capitalistic society. Gregor’s forfeiture of identity and the absence of his purpose are merely results of his submission to society.…

In The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, the protagonist, Gregor Samsa, wakes up to an unfamiliar body as he has turned into a large bug. As Gregor begins to accept his transformation, his family, as well as his own consciousness, begin to think that he is no longer a human.…
