The Metamorphosis
The argument of the article and the frame used by the author to support his claims
The Metamorphosis is a novella which was written by Franz Kafka and published in 1915. It is based on comparative research divided into three parts explaining the how the main character Gregor Samsa woke up one morning and found that he has been transmuted into a giant insect. He is trying to turn over his body in the bed to confirm if he is still dreaming but he found that indeed he is an insect with all features of an insect including hard shell, wriggling legs, and squirming legs. The author has used various facts to support the claims of transformation. For instance, Gregor's sound had changed as it is seen when his parents went to wake him up for work (Kafka 27). Also, he could not fit through the door, and we are told that he gets serious injuries while trying to move in and out of his room. Similarly, his sister Grete and his mother had to remove some furniture in his room to create more space for him. The author is trying to show how one is rejected by the society once he or she falls into problems. This is shown in Gregor's life who even his family saw him as a burden after his transformation.
