Reflective Paper About The Metamorphosis By Franz Kafka

Introduction

The metamorphosis is mainly about a salesman named Gregor Samsa, who wakes up one morning turned into a beetle, but not really know what happened to him. Certainly that is the reality. This work takes us to those who read it in a real world to imaginary spheres, fantastic, with no time to dwell on what I happened, so human life is but a reflection of a reality or will be located elsewhere, in the inaccessible, in human or inhuman blasts into the religious sphere. One of the most important aspects of the story that now concerns me is the terrible loneliness of the protagonist; Gregor isolated a bug in solitary confinement outside of family life. But that alone, I feel like an utter desolation which is a major theme in this work.

The author describes the life of a person with an attention to detail is amazing and even as a little "dying" to the reader by describing the heaviness of it all. I also liked the great comparison made by the author of his life with the protagonist of the play. He wanted to express through a great metaphor for what happened to it. But we still have to know why the transformation of Gregory, it may be a hallucination, or that it may look like a hideous monster and outcast. To conclude and to finish this work is easy to read, and with very little extension that suggests a lot of ideas (Kuper, pp. 6).

Metamorphosis can be seen as an allegory of the imprisonment of the soul in a helpless body, or as a reflection of dysfunctional family relationships, or simply as a tale where a man is rejected by everyone, save for simple little moments of genuine human interaction.

The play takes part five forms: Gregor, working son who is also the main character, Greta, his sister, mother, father and Mr. Proxy. None of these roles cannot be described as simple and easy to play, but the magnitude of the work you have to follow the actor embodying the role of the worm appear to be less demanding roles Proxy and Mother. The metamorphosis of Gregory reveals the true human nature with a touch of satire. Situations come up the drama to point the finger at each one of us. Although not a hymn to the good feelings but the work claimed in its own way a right to difference and denounces the ...
