Metamorphosis and Reality’s Irrationalism Everyone interprets Kafka in a unique way. Metamorphosis is of no exception. I consider this novel to be a reflection of one’s thoughts and perspectives.

“The Metamorphosis” is an excellent example of expressionism. It shows Franz Kafka’s honest interpretation of the world. His endless fears from his life can be seen in “The Metamorphosis”. Two fears of Frank Kafka’s that keep re-appearing in “The Metamorphosis” are displacement in society and strained relationships with society. After Gregor’s metamorphosis he also is no longer a part of his human society and can no longer preserve his relationships with his family. Gregor’s metamorphosis symbolizes

Within the family‚ the alienation of Gregor happened once he started taking over as the head of
