The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka is an
allegory of escape. Gregor Samsa worked every day and did the same boring routine job. One morning, he has mysteriously transformed into an insect. Gregor's world slowed down and his life was now at a
turning point. Gregor cannot get any medical help to return him to his human form. Is there any way he will be able to turn back into a human?
The word "Kafkaesque" has entered our culture. The word means "relating to or suggestive of Franz Kafka, especially having a nightmarish, complex, bizarre, or illogical quality." There are cartoons and TV shows that are related to this, Franz Kafka's most famous story. The author has written many stories that are all eerie and dark and that are similar to The Metamorphosis. I recommend this novella to anyone. I enjoyed how the author
wrote specific descriptions of Gregor's body and the structure of the insect as he changed physically. I myself have not read a book
that caught my attention as much as this one did. By reading the book you will
find out what happens to Gregor as he goes along his journey as an insect and
how his family's lives changes dramatically.
