Kafka's Metamorphosis

In the metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, there are significant actions and transformations which make the story sad, and strange with a happy ending. Explanations that are dramatic events that intensify the excitement of all these actions. Reality and reflection play an important role in this story because the events that happened could be applied and assimilated with modern society. The story is very sad and realistic, some of the things that are related in Kafka's story can be found in modern families today. Gregor was a man who sacrificed himself working to pay his father's debts, instead off on his own where he could prospered. Gregor never was recognized by his family of all the efforts that he did, he was taken for granted and he was expected

Gregor was such an isolated and poor person that he cut the picture of the lady with the fur or a magazine to hang on the wall, to remind him of better things. Gregor's metamorphosis into a cockroach is strange but at the same time is reasonable, because insects as beetle, but or cockroaches are associated with old dirty houses, and trash. If Gregor would have been a cat or a dog, his parents would not considered him so disgusting and they would not have rejected him. But in this case, Gregor is a bug and his parents really thought that a giant cockroach is something that must be hidden. This kind of things happens everyday. not the strange thing as transformation into a bug, but the fact that people are not what they seem to be like people who dress or act in certain way. A lot of people are misunderstood and are judged the wrong

he got used to his food, his living under the couch, climbing in the ceilings, and in certain way he enjoyed those things. In the real world this is the same with a lot people for instance, when a person starts to begin a new life in a different country, like or not, people must get used to new thins, food and lifestyle for their own benefits and try to enjoy as Gregor did.

At the end of the Kafka's story, Gregor Samsa dies and with him dies the huge insect too. But with the end of this transformation starts a new happy one. For instance, Gregor family feels a big sense of relief like if their burden has been lifted off them, and they can start a new life. Grete in the end of the story is a young woman who is willing to start her career as a musician. All of them are happy, including Gregor himself who stops all this sufferings and rejections from his family. Samsa could be viewed in modern society as someone who hated his job and everyone around him, but he did not think that the human society was very human at all. Society is a very selfish place, filled with self-centered people, this is how Gregor came to be an insect to his family; Gregor was a big machine and he came to be recognized when necessity came to the house. This story is very realistic and sad at the same time. It should be applied in society to learn how to recognize when people are worth and appreciate them for
