The Metamorphosis by Frank Kafka

Last week I was reading this book,

The Meta… (forget bout the spelling)

*

it started off in a very typical novel-like setting

about a guy named Gregor

who refused to wake up from work

*

He has got some family debt

and work is really torturous for him

*

Suddenly he found his own body

was transformed into a bug

*

So he thought it was a dream

and tried to get some sleep

But it was real

*

From this point onwards

I thought this story sounds a little ridiculous

Then the story goes on to illustrate

how miserable his life is as a bug

*

No one in the family is

bothered to care for him

He is treated like a monster and

was locked up in his room

*

The most intolerably part is

his father threw an apple on him

to chase him back into his room

He got terribly hurt

*

Since he is the financial support for the family,

His parents and sister

need to be independent now

and they too have to work in order to survive

*

Since they are busy with their own work

they hate Gregor more and more

they even think of getting rid of him

*

Finally he died

the family didn't mourn for him.

instead they feel as if

a burden is relieved from them

and go out for a walk

*

Arrgh, what a tragic story

*

So….

The conclusion is life is a sad journey

which is full of struggle

Support from others is important,

especially your own family

*

For Gregor

his struggle is not worthwhile

since his family is not showing any appreciation

*

Problems can be settled

if a family is standing together

But if there is no love

then it would be a little tough

*   

Poor Gregor

all along he has been alone in his suffering
