    How Does Kafka Present Suffering In The Penal Colony

    I found this story very weird and crazy in so many ways. My question to Gregor is why you wouldn’t want help to change and go back to your old life as a Human. Why suffer and bring your family down with you. It was as if his life as a human and as a giant bug was the same not need to change or do anything just be depressed. His life as a human and taking care of his family was such a burden and he seemed to do because he had to not because he wanted to.…

    Metamorphosis Rhetorical Analysis

    Gregor decides to complete the laborious task of hiding underneath a blanket in the rare event of his mother entering the room because she faints at the sight of her verminous son. For the same reason, Gregor cannot leave his room in fear of others being frightened. Later on, Gregor is pelted by apples by his father when one eventually sticks to his back; and his father only ceases fire because of Mrs. Samsa’s pleading. For the remainder of the story, Gregor has an apple attached to his back as a symbol of the burdens he has to carry and the disappointment of his father that he has to cope with (Mendoza). Even in this situation however, Gregor truly believes it is his wrongdoing that caused the wound as Mendoza writes in his criticism “The Human Vermin: Kafka’s Metaphor for Extreme Alienation” that “feelings of guilt are renewed at the sight of the wound” (Mendoza).…

    His physical transformation is not only a threat for his household, but also disgusts his employer, as is evidenced by the reaction of his manager: “The manager burst out with loud “oh!” – it sounded like a rush of wind- and now he could see him standing closest to the door, his hand pressed over his open mouth slowly backing away, as if repulsed by an indivisible and unrelenting force.” (Kafka 788) This toxic situation for Gregor alludes to the ruthlessness of the society and selfishness of his own family. Gregor’s metamorphosis into a “lowly insect” brings to light the stark reality that society and family is unwilling to accept individuals with a sense of self into their…
