The Metamorphosis - Franz Kafka: METAMORPHOSIS (343 words)
by NeilG1 - written on 24.09.05 (Useful, 223 readings)
Rating:
Franz Kafka was born in Czechoslovakia, yet went on to become one of the greatest writers in the German language. Metamorphosis is along side The Trial, his greatest work. The book Metmorphosis contains several other stories but I will concentrate on the title story since this varies between editions. Metamorphosis is ...
I Prefer My Robots To Transform (945 words)
by rclens - written on 23.05.04 (Very useful, 864 readings)
Rating:
Kafkaâ??s Metamorphosis in one of those texts many will have heard of and, indeed, many will have read. Its high state within the literary hierarchy stems from its concept of human transformation; the metamorphosis of the protagonist, Gregor Samsa, from a human being into an insect; seen as repellent and ugly. Although the concept appears ...
The Metamorphosis - Franz Kafka: The most depressing thing I've ever read. (695 words)
by Bryn Pearson - written on 14.09.01 (Very useful, 442 readings)
Rating:
I first read this text back when I was all of about seventeen, and I wept bitterly for the futility of it, for the anguish of the main character and for the utter pointlessness of existence. When you are an angst ridden teenager, it is hard to look beyond the agony in this short tale and to see anything else that is hapening. Looking at it now, I ...
not quite Kafka (294 words)
by the_grinder - written on 29.06.01 (Useful, 190 readings)
Rating:
Everyone loves this novella (me included) - it is beautifully written, touching, funny, bleak, and superbly constructed. But the more I think about it, the more I'm not sure where it stands compared to Kafka's other works, and his novels in particular. The other reviews here describe the story very well, so I won't repeat ...

Picture yourself in the middle of an examination room at school or college. You open the paper in front of you and are confronted by the following exam question: 'To know what it is to be human, one only has to become a beetle- discuss' That is what happened to me in 1988 as I was taking my First year university exam in ...
'Metamorphosis': a meditation on "the abyss&quo ... (400 words)
by Jay Pendragon - written on 19.01.01 (Very useful, 262 readings)
Rating:
I first read this book when I was 15 years old, I am 20 now and I fully understand it and appreciate it by leaps and bounds more than I did then. This is not so much a simple story about a bloke who wakes up one morning turned into an insect or whatever, this is an epic meditation on the dark recesses of our mind and levels of depraivity humanity ...
The Metamorphosis - Franz Kafka: A question of responsibility (410 words)
by Cow-Lover - written on 28.08.00 (Very useful, 269 readings)
Rating:
Gregor. Beloved son in a family of four. Selflessly hard-working. Reliable. Trustworthy. Eager to please. On the day the story begins, he wakes up as a BEETLE. But this is no sci-fi story or cheap horror tale. Instead, Kafka, in his inimitable style, blends fantasy and reality in carefully-measured quantities. The result ...
