Gregor Mendel

Introduction Gregor had one of the worst lives anyone can ever have. His parents hoarded his money, they made him work for them and made it so they relied on him. “Behind his door Gregor nodded emphatically, delighted at this unexpected foresight and thrift. Of course he actuallly could have paid off more of his father’s debt to the boss with this extra money.” The readers should care about this because he’s being used. Gregor has been used, abused and thrown away like a napkin. First point In…

experience during and after Gregor’s transformation. From the point of view of the main character, Gregor Samsa, it is clear to see he goes through a transformation, physically and mentally. His new view can either be argued as either positive or negative. But, the effects of the metamorphosis does not have a negative impact; it has a positive one instead. In order to understand the positive impacts on Gregor, it is important to know how he was before the metamorphosis. The transformation…

his views include that the modern world and his family has reduced man (in this case Gregor) to an insect and that human nature is entirely self-centred. Franz Kafka suggests that the more generous and selfless an individual is the more inferiority he/she would face. This interpretation conflicts with the way things should be; every individual (Gregor) should be treated according to their action; therefore Gregor should have been treated with love and care regardless of his unfortunate state.…

Some readers of The Metamorphosis might see Gregor as an insane man who simply believes he has been turned into a bug. As a reader, I can see why people may believe this.

This can be proved in how he…

aspects of the novella, The Metamorphosis, and the history of the author, Franz Kafka. I learned that the main character, Gregor, had a similar relationship with his family as Kafka himself had.

We discussed the uses of modernism (symbolism, imagism) and…

Rory Cruz 12/19/16 Extended essay of Franz Kafka’s metamorphosis Franz Kafka’s work was my favorite of all of the books we have read before. His dark style of writing and use of literary devices was amazing in my eyes, but what in his life caused this? Franz Kafka was born July 3rd, 1883 and died June 3rd, 1924, at the age of 40, from tuberculosis. During Kafka’s life, he was a very disturbed as a child, mainly because he was beaten, not only physically but also mentally. I feel like…

selfish and place the blame on others. At the beginning of the novel, the main character—Gregor Samsa—awakens to discover his life has changed; he finds himself transformed into an enormous bug. As the story progresses, Gregor’s family must cope with a sudden change, as the provider of the family becomes the one who needs to be provided for. His family’s financial situation is shaky to begin with, but now that Gregor is a useless bug they begin to turn on him and blame him for their problems. He…
