One morning, as Gregor Samsa awoke from unsettling dreams, he discovered that he had been transformed in his bed into a dreadful vermin. Thus commences The Metamorphosis, recognized as one of the pivotal works of fiction from the twentieth century. This narrative follows Gregor Samsa, a traveling salesman, who one day realizes that he has changed into a bug. The Metamorphosis explores themes of alienation, disillusionment, and existentialism. As Samsa endeavors to reconcile his humanity with his new form, Kafka skillfully entangles his readers in a narrative that addresses the absurdity of existence, the isolating nature of modern life, and the harshness and incomprehensibility of authoritarian power, leaving them both astonished and impressed.
