The
Metamorphosis, Franz Kafka
As
Gregor Samsa wakes up to find himself turned into a giant
insect, the reader is plunged into Kafka's bizarre world
where fantasy and reality are one. The main theme of this
work 葉he alienation of the individual擁s revealed as Gregor
faces the disgrace he brings to his family and the experience
of being an outsider in his own home. Kafka's meditation
on issues of inadequacy, guilt, and isolation is a masterpiece
of the novella form.
