Is it an Ideal” She answers these questions through the stories of these three men as they come across and label foreign people, lands, or plants. Kincaid implies that the act of identifying and…

There is a lot of different views placed in The Metamorphosis. One of the views is the indifference and separation with the relationship with his family, social life and his life after the changeover.
