Reactions to Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis is a crazy book to me but a good crazy. The type of good that makes you not want to put it down and keep turning the pages to find out what is going to happen next. The first thing that was crazy to me was Gregor was transformed into an insect and he was so calm about it! I know that if I was an insect I would not be that calm about it and work would be the last of my worries. One thing I found interesting was that in Kafka Franz life that he was not able to bring home the bacon every night. He was not making a lof of money and was stuggling painter. I connected this to the book; When Gregor was freaking out about not being able to get to work on time and that he need to pay off his debts. In a way this is just like Kafka's life. Unable to bring home money/Unable to get to work soon leading to unable to bring home money.

  1. I think that is a great connection, but i believe that there is a better one between gregor and his father and kafka and his father. After the beetle incodent, gregor and his father don't get along. That is just like kafka and his father.
