Alienation in The Metamorphosis
3,254 words, approx. 11 pages
In the novella The Metamorphosis, by Franz Kafka, the alienation and resentment of Gregor Samsa is present both in his work and at home by physical separation, psychological isolation, and emotional disaffection. In each of these instances, Gregor becomes more complex and controversial to the reader. Not only is Gregor metamorphosized, but the father, mother, and sister are all equally transformed into different people through their responses to Gregor.
