Over the past 20 years, the presence of class on TV has greatly diminished. Money has become a nonissue for many characters. With the advent of the hangout sitcom, it appeared that all the characters never went to work but were able to afford expensive apartments in the middle of huge cities like New York (Morris, 2016). However, Netflix’s F is for Family takes the viewer back to the 1970’s to a working-class household of the Murphies. F is for Family has money and class as one of its most…

same. In each of the novels, The Trial, The Fixer, and The Ministry of Special Cases, there is a different style that is used to illustrate the protagonists’ struggle. All three of these novels illustrate Jewish imprisonment through different ways. Franz Kafka writes in a way that pushes the boundaries of literature, he makes the reader nervous. In The Trial he never actually reveals the crime that Josef K. is being accused of. Bernard Malamud uses irony and repetition throughout The Fixer to…

There is a good chance you never thought about termites until you needed termite pest control in Frisco, TX. Called the “silent destroyers,” termites can tear through homes in a short amount of time by chewing through wood and other materials that are used to construct them. One of the biggest problems with the tiny insects is that they can infest a home so stealthily that homeowners often don’t know they have them until extensive damage has already been done. Believe it or not, termites…

complacency is all too sweet a friend in these times. If one is not careful, however, this stagnant way of life can be crippling, as it causes one to settle for less than their best. Once caught in this rut, it can be almost impossible to get out. In Franz Kafka’s novella, The Metamorphosis, the protagonist, Gregor Samsa, finds himself in this very situation. Gregor leads a mediocre life. He provides for his family, but he’s not particularly close to them. He finds little satisfaction at…

The Metamorphosis Mask Interpretations Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis is a relatively short story that challenges readers to claw past its innocent surface and reveal a painstakingly tragic tale of loss and disownment. The characters and the interactions between them fabricate the root of analysis. Many readers may first assume that protagonist, Gregor Samsa, is the only one truly experiencing a metamorphosis, yet each character drastically changes in their own way. The three most prominently…

be human? Being human and what it takes to be human is often taken for granted. This question is not something we question daily, monthly, or yearly. We often just accept that we are human and leave it at that. In both Alan Moore’s Watchmen and Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, at least one character in each work face an extreme transformation that challenges or questions, the qualities and attributes of humanity. It is only after the transformation in both cases that the individuals who…

Unzegeifer, the original German translation, equates to “an unclean animal not suited for sacrifice”; such word is used to describe Gregor Samsa’s transformation into a vermin in Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis. A working class everyman, Gregor Samsa lacks the traditional societal honor that often characterizes one’s sacrifice to society. Gregor may not be a suitable sacrifice if he lacks the honor, let alone the willingness, to have his sacrifice hold any significant meaning. However, Gregor,…
