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. Gregor is diminished into a cockroach by the world around him and his family; Human Fallibility is ultimately narcissistic. What I picked up from the reading is that Gregor is so kind hearted and open handed, and that is why he was treated the worse from his family; Gregor Should have been treated…

In Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, Gregor wakes up to find himself transformed into a bug. With Kafka’s background in reading the Word of God, this novel has been compared to the Bible because Grete played a similar role to Judas, Gregor’s downfall was brought by an apple, his family does not care for him before he dies. In a way, his sister…

In Kupers graphic novel interpretation of “Metamorphosis” on page 123 as well as 125 will show us…

Family members are expected to support each other and love each other unconditionally. Gregor’s family did not meet all of these expectations. They pushed him away when he needed them the most; they did not believe that Gregor was still himself after he changed to a cockroach. Gregor’s transformation greatly affected his relationship with his family, and roles shifted within the family also. Before the transformation, Gregor was the sole provider for his family. His father and mother claimed…
