Gregor Samsa Isolation In Frank Kafka's The Metamorphosis

The most important reason that the Grasshopper is irresponsible is that he is lazy. Grasshopper is lazy because he chills out and thinks everything will be done for him. Even when the ant was working, Grasshopper tried to persuade Ant, “Don’t go Ant”,Grasshopper said. “come pass the day with me.” Luckily Ant denied the offer. This is important because Grasshopper is not going to have food for the winter.

It decayed slowly, allowing him to come to terms with the truth; that he is unwanted. As his mother begs for his life, we see Gregor’s physical and mental condition significantly decrease, all because of the actions of his father. Kafka shows us that because the Father is strong and powerful again, Gregor becomes a waste of space. Once, they relied heavily upon him, and now he is excluded, feared and an outcast. In

While Gregor begins are the all mighty, male provider, he regresses into an effeminate state as he no longer can perform his tasks for work. As his transformation into a vermin worsens, he no longer can perform any action and further conforms to the true identity of a bug. Grete, on the other hand, picks up the male provider role that Gregor could no longer perform, but then, as she becomes tired with the work and as Gregor identifies with an “it”, goes back to her female role. Gregor's physical change forces him to degenerate to death, but allows Grete to thrive, growing into a

As a result, he felt belittled and small and emanated negativity. “Gregor kept reassuring himself”( 86, Kafka) that he was normal and fine, however, his negative energy had not subsided yet. Because he emanates negativity his family also views him as a small worthless insect, “He must go,” cried Gregor’s sister, (101 Kafka). His family eventually disowned him and left him to die. In the novel, Gregor’s pronoun was changed from Him to It as the book progressed to section three.

8.Explain the irony in Frankenstein's actions Even after Victor’s mother dies, and she wished for him to take care of the family and to wed Elizabeth, Victor spends his time in science and neglects his family, shutting off contact for 2 years and not returning home until 6 years later. A bigger show of irony is Frankenstein’s constant return to isolation. Even after becoming somewhat mentally insane, Henry restores his friend and rehabilitates him back to his previous health. Although not fully recovered, Victor returns home and decides not to tell his family, but rather go back into nature for more isolation, He did not learn from his actions and after the monster pays him a visit, Frankenstein continues his mission in isolation. (Takes place in chapter 9 and 10) 9.What does the death of William symbolize?

Since he was not supervising them, Robbie took off even though he does not have a driver license. This shows how he does not care for his kids and how he has lost the connection with his kids. Also, when the kids go to their rooms, they still have the same bed covers

In addition, Victor was obsessed with dead bodies and creating a being. Due to this, he was isolated from the society and he started creating his creature. His isolation persisted especially after he created a hideous being that brought destruction and pain to the people. Similarly, just like Victor, the creature lived in isolation because he was left alone by his creator after he created him. The monster never got a chance to experience a mother or fatherly love just like his creator.

“Unable to endure the aspect of the being I had created, I rushed out of the room, and continued a long time traversing my bed chamber, unable to compose my mind to sleep” (47). Victor’s job as a creator is to basically treat it like it is his son and raise him and teach him how to go through life. Rather than fulfilling his obligation as a creator, Victor is terrified by his own creation and runs from it, ignoring his mistake for years, until it comes back into its life in an unfortunate way. Purposely being oblivious to his being and the world around him, Victor did not begin to face his mistake until two years later when he lossed William, his younger

Victor in the very beginning on the novel keeps to himself and mainly characterized by his loneliness due in part because of his desire to complete his work, this causes him to stay away from people for long periods of time staying in solidarity for mass portions of the day . Victor eventually finishes his work but his deeply horrified by the disgusting nature of the creature that he made. His monster does get out of control and kills his younger brother. Victor knows that the monster did this and because of this he feels responsible for the death of his brother and the subsequent death of another. Eventually Victor angers the monster and because of this Victor then loses his friend, wife and father to the hands of the monster.

Loneliness is a state of sadness caused by a lack of friends or company, it is the quality of being remote and isolated from people whether it was by choice or not. In John Steinbeck’s novella Of Mice and Men, George and Lennie are hired at a ranch for a new job. They meet Curley, the boss’ son, who does not like Lennie and always wants to start problems with him. They also meet other interesting people such as Candy, Crooks, and Curley 's wife. They open up and offer their thoughts and feelings to George and Lennie that they have never spoke about before to anyone, which accidently causes Curley’s wife to be killed by Lennie resulting in Lennie being shot by George.

Shin was trying hard to be a nice person, but he cannot deal with the guilt of knowing that he did some horrible things back at Camp 14. “He told Kyung that he ‘disgusts’ himself, that he cannot escape dreams of his mother’s death, that he cannot forgive himself for leaving his father behind in the camp, and that he hates himself for crawling over Park’s body.” (page 182) He finds it impossible to let go of what he did in the past. Sometimes, he even feels like he is still in the camp. “When he struggled to fall asleep in the group house or when nightmares woke him up, he crawled out of his bunk and slept as he had in the camp- on a bare floor with a blanket.” (page
