Metamorphosis
by Kafka
About This Novel
In Kafka's "The Metamorphosis", heavy physical and mental oppression causes people to lose their essence and become inhuman. A salesman woke up and found that he had turned into a beetle. Although he still had human emotions and psychology, his insect shape gradually turned him into a alien. After the transformation, he was abandoned by the world, which made him feel extremely sad. After three failed attempts to communicate with his relatives and the outside world, death was the only thing waiting for him. His transformation reflects the real living conditions of Westerners at that time. Through his novels, Kafka does not simply state the facts, but resists the world and pursues the perfection of human nature.

We have long since changed beyond recognition.
family affection
Once it loses its value, there is no family affection at all. No matter how much you have contributed to this family, you will become a burden and be ruthlessly abandoned. In my opinion, the difference between humans and animals is whether they have consciousness (thought). Obviously, although the protagonist in the story has been physically deformed, his thoughts, thoughts and love for his family still exist. He still loves his family deeply. After the protagonist undergoes a transformation, he still wants to send his sister to a music conservatory after he returns to normal. However, reality did not give him this chance. As time passed, the protagonist had completely turned into a "beetle", and the family's tolerance for him gradually disappeared. In the incident of three gentlemen, the whole family broke out completely. The seemingly united family was finally defeated in the face of difficulties. This is also like our contemporary parents who take good care of their children when they are young, but when they are old and lose their value, they are (partly) rejected by their children. It is really sad to think about it.
It's actually in Chinese and English
Stop by and come in to check in and sign in.
It turns out that it's better to not exist than to be hated!
What a sad ending. What is the value of such a life?
A little sad
It's a bit sad, but I don't see the deeper meaning.
Very suitable for studying in your spare time
I really like this kind of mystery that leaves people with unlimited imagination.
Stream of consciousness writing
The author uses exaggeration and metaphor to describe his own transformation experience. Kafka, the author of this text, wrote this text very well.
Well written, please like and support!
