The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka is a groundbreaking novella that explores themes of alienation, identity, and existential anxiety. It tells the surreal and unsettling story of Gregor Samsa, a traveling salesman who wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into a giant insect. His physical transformation leads to a profound shift in his relationships with his family, who begin to view him as a burden and a source of shame.

Kafka’s exploration of Gregor’s isolation and the way society and family react to his change serves as a poignant critique of human existence, societal expectations, and the individual’s struggle for meaning. As Gregor becomes more alienated, the story touches on themes of self-worth, guilt, and the inability to communicate, highlighting the fragility of human connection: #TheMetamorphosis #FranzKafka #ClassicLiterature #Existentialism #Surrealism #Alienation #IdentityCrisis #PsychologicalDrama #MustRead #LiteraryFiction-dhari.pk
