Character Analysis:

Gregor Samsa in “The Metamorphosis” by Franz Kafka

“The Metamorphosis” by Franz Kafka is a novel in which Gregor Samsa is the main character.

Gregor is also the protagonist in the story. “The Metamorphosis” is a depiction of Gregor’s life

and how he transforms from a human into a bug. In the novel, it describes the journey and

struggle he has been through. Most people don’t turn into bugs, but a lot of people may be able

Gregor had many feelings towards life and how he viewed it. Not only was he very alone and

afraid that he had turned into a bug, but he was alienated by all of his family and the people

around him. I think that sometimes people feel alienated from others because they’re different;

that’s how Gregor

When Gregor’s mother and Grete start to clean and clear out

his room, Gregor panics when they started taking out furniture, like the writing desk he

remembers doing all his work at as a boy. To try to save, and hold on to as much of his

humanity as Gregor can, he attaches himself to the picture of the woman muffled in fur so no

one will try and take it away from him. Many people are like Gregor, and try to hold on to the

past and memories as much as possible. I know that when I go out of town or over to

someone’s house, I always bring my pillow because it reminds me of home. Many things in this

world can be a minor thing to one person, but a key component or reminder to another’s life.

Gregor Samsa was a very strong person and had little personality change. Throughout his

life, he had many trials; he tried as hard as he could to persevere in a different body. Gregor

shows a great example of how even though life can get tough, always try to keep a positive

attitude and to try and not give up. There will be changes in your life that could be detrimental,

but we must try to embrace it. Always be the best you can be and when people put you down

for being different, stick up for

    In part two of the Metamorphosis, Gregor is misunderstood with the situation of trying to keep the picture of the woman in his room. As he covers it, the mother arrives in his room and is terrified at what she sees. She faints from seeing Gregor on the wall, and his sister tells the father that he broke out, but the father misinterprets this and believes that Gregor has tried attacking his wife. Gregor is faced with still interpreting himself as a human, or as an insect. His sister seems to still perceive that Gregor still possesses some kind of humanity, but then slowly…

    “ He lay on his armor-hard back and saw, as he lifted his head up a little, his brown, arched abdomen, divided up into rigid bow-like section ” ( Kafka 137). Gregor wakes up with numerous legs and a big brown hard “shell”. Gregor used to be in the army so he is a very well mannered loyal person and will do anything for…

    Kafka shows how humans will adapt to fit their roles in society without any complaints, which was also shown in the Stanford Prison Experiment. Kafka shows this by having his characters fit into roles that they were assigned by physical features. In “the Metamorphosis,” Gregor is turned into a bug, and his transformation slowly begins to affect more than just his physical appearance. Within the story, we can see Gregor begin to change first with his acquired tastes for rotten food (26.8-27.4) to his newfound interest in crawling around all over the room (32.8). Kafka does a similar role fulfilling in the story “In the Penal Colony” with the condemned man. In this story, the condemned man is chained up like an animal and is even described as…

    In the “Kafka’s fantasy of punishment”, Author Kaiser reveals and scrutinizes more insightfully the significant meaning of the metamorphosis of Gregor Samsa. In Kaiser’s point of view, Gregor’s transformation is a “self-punishment for his earlier competitive striving aimed against his father.” His unintentional emotions toward his father are beyond hatred, which is interpreted by Kaiser as an oedipal jealousy intended for the mother. However, that is not the manifest struggle between the son and father. It is Gregor’s bold ambition costs him to suffer. Before his catastrophic metamorphosis, the son takes up the position as head of the family as a result of business failure of his father. He begins to work assiduously to sustain the whole family;…

    In The Metamorphasis, Kafka’s treatment of Gregor’s transformation demonstrates how beyond human control the natural world is. The human turning back into nature demonstrates a relationship between man and the environment. Throughout the novel there is, however, much talk of the cure and of acceptance, yet nature goes on unrelated to all talk of ways to change the situation.…

    In Franz Kafka's short story Metamorphosis symbolism plays a great part in developing Gregor's character and life. First, s picture Gregor has of a woman is the representation of his last strand of human life in addition to the furniture in his bedroom. Secondly, the apple that Gregor's father implants into his back is a representation of good and evil within the Samsa family. Lastly, Gregor's door represents his isolation from humanity and his true transition into a bug.…

    7). I found these statements confusing because the book specifically tells the reader that "Gregor's idea of desiring others' help is the first step toward complete reliance on his family," which is the opposite of independence (Kafka, pg. 18). While Gregor's life itself is a picture of existentialism, his desires are contrary to this philosophy. So, how then does Gregor fit this…

    His mother, wanting to accommodate her son, removes the furniture in room so he can move more freely in it. However, Gregor still has a need to have human belongings in his room. The picture of the woman in the furs, for example, has significance for Gregor because it reminded him of his former life. His sister Grete, is the only one who seems to get close to him, even though there is at least in the first two parts of the story, sympathy for Gregor from his mother and sister. Gregor’s father was unkind man who seemed primarily concerned with finances, even from the first day of Gregor’s metamorphosis, and even attacks Gregor later on in the story with fruit, injuring him.…

    The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka is an enlightening novel on how death helps to illuminate the message of the novel. Gregor’s death helps to illuminate the fact that his family never cared about him and alienated him before and during his metamorphosis with how his family treats him before his metamorphosis, when they throw the apple at him, and how they feel after his death.…

    Franz Kafka's beginning of his novel, "The Metamorphosis," begins with what would seem a climactic moment: "As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect." From this point on, the reader is determined to make sense of this transformation. However, the reader later comes to realize that Gregor is actually not an insect, but this metamorphosis into a vermin was purely symbolic. It symbolizes the degrading lifestyle that Gregor leads to support his family. This leads the reader to understand Gregor's absurd dilemma.…

    In the novel by Franz Kafka, “The Metamorphosis” one could say that there are many causes which leads to Gregor Samsa’s alienation. In examining Gregor’s alienation one has to review causes both before and after his metamorphosis. One has to note that Gregor could only be alienated by his family because he had no friends or significant other. Before Gregor’s metamorphosis the primary reason for his alienation was his job as a traveling salesman and the unfulfilling work schedule he had to maintain. After his metamorphosis Gregor’s physical appearance ultimately leads him to be isolated and alienated from his family. Although there are many reasons for Gregor’s alienation, his lifestyle and dedication to his family leads to his alienation and tragic demise.…

    Thirdly, before and after the metamorphosis, Gregor Alienated himself; prior to the metamorphosis, he did not have much of a social life; he buried himself in his work. Even after the metamorphosis, he still does things from a distance. When he discovers what happened to himself in the beginning of the novella, he did not call out for help, all he thought about what work. He continues to hide away from others and slipping…

    the very social structure that is ruining his life. Gregor's family is abusive, yet he constantly forgives them. He is truly altruistic–he works like an animal in order to maintain his family's material comfort. His only dream is to send his beloved sister to the music Conservatory. Gregor is constantly hungry, but "not for these things" (Franz Kafka, The Metamorphosis, hereafter known as KM). He longs "for nourishment other than food, for an emotional sustenance derived from an active involvement with his family" (Sweeney 152). Simultaneously, he rebels against the role of the "sacrificial son" (Santner 198). It turns out that Gregor is not completely passive in the face of authority. He actively despises his boss, to whom he longs to "[speak] my piece from the bottom of my heart" (KM 4). Toward the end of his life, when he has become so visually revolting others cannot bear the sight of him, he creeps across the living room in front of the boarders. At this moment he briefly relinquishes his concern for others, and thinks "It hardly surprised [me] that lately [I] was showing so little consideration for the others; once such a consideration had been [my] greatest pride" (KM 35). Internally, Gregor seeks to rebel; his innermost thoughts reflect Kafka's ideals. Externally, though, he feels forced to submit to the expectations of his family, his boss, and society.…

    The living space transforms from a sanctuary to a confined prison in order to illustrate how the physical adaptation of his personal area ironically leads to his isolation from his family and ultimately all of humanity. In the story, Gregor "[pushes] a chair to the window, [climbs] in the chair, [and leans] on the window to stare out of it, [since he] used to feel a great sense of freedom from…

    Throughout the novel Kafka constantly utilizes depressing language that emphasizes the hopelessness of Gregor’s situation. From the very start, Gregor describes his unappealing (and helpless) physical state as a bug and contrasts it with a pretty picture of a lady with lots of fur next to him. “What has happened to me? He thought. It was no dream” (106). By acknowledging that it is really not a dream, Gregor comes to accept his dire circumstance and seals his own fate with the profound realization of his situation. Kafka’s utilization of Gregor’s point of view in such…
