The Metamorphosis........


The Metamorphosis

A short story written by Franz Kafka, In 1915.

Kafka, who after his death in 1924 later become a world renown novelist, for his work in the early 20th century.

Kafka wrote many great works of literature, one of which is The Metamorphosis.

I first read this back in school, but have since re-read it lol.

Still an interesting read!....................

Here is a short summerier of what i took from the book.

The Metamorphosis is centered around a man, Gregor Samsa, who as a result of all the pressure's in his life, slowly begins to transform into an insect.

There are probably dozens if not hundreds of different philosophical or metaphorical metaphors we can take from this, and in part most of them would probably be correct on some level or another.

Here's my interpretation.

In the book, I fill that Kafka is trying to say, that even though we look at the world in different way's, people's lives aren't always what they seem and nobody can really tell what anyone else is felling on the inside.

Fill free to share your thoughts on the story....
