Comments on metamorphosis:(((((((
I just finished reading The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, and I genuinely don't know how to process what I just read.
Gregor honestly broke my heart. Before the transformation, he sacrificed everything for his family. He hated his job, had dreams of his own, yet kept putting his family's needs above his own. He was carrying everyone on his back.
What hurt the most was watching how his family changed. At first they were compassionate—they made sure he had food, cleaned his room, and tried to adjust. But as time passed, he slowly became nothing more than a burden to them. It made me wonder: did they love Gregor, or did they love what he provided?
I also understand why Gregor became a little aggressive later in the story. Imagine suddenly being isolated, unable to communicate, abandoned by everyone you love, and treated like a monster. Anyone would slowly lose themselves.
His father especially made me angry. I know he regained some self-respect by working again, but the way he treated Gregor—injuring him and showing almost no compassion—was heartbreaking, especially since Gregor never chose any of this.
His mother felt... present, but not really there. She clearly loved him, yet she never truly stood up for him.
One thing I didn't understand was the scene where Gregor wanted to kiss Grete's neck while she was playing the violin. Was Kafka implying something romantic, or was it meant to represent Gregor's desperate longing for human affection and connection?
Also, the ending absolutely crushed me. The family seemed relieved after Gregor died, and it felt like his entire worth had been tied to his ability to provide for them.
I'd love to hear your interpretations. What do you think Kafka was really trying to say????
