Transformations and Symbolism in Frank Kafka’s "The Metamorphosis" Franz Kafka ’s stories are perhaps one of the most open-interpreted works of literature of the twentieth century because of his alienated and disturbed characters placed upon modern backdrops of despair and horror that in the years to come after his writings would come to life. While there will be some who wish to interpret "The Metamorphosis" as a work of prophecy that depicts the grotesqueries and dehumanization from future events

28 October 2013 When Pyramus and Thisbe first went on their rendezvous in the woods‚ they never would have imagined that they would be the template on which many romantic stories are built.

as profound as it is in Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis. The irony in The Metamorphosis runs rampant from the first sentence and doesn’t cease until the very end. Kafka crafts a sadistic tale about a man who although had an unconditionally loving heart‚ never learned to love himself. The most morose aspect of the story was that Gregor Samsa undoubtedly had to die. The most significant portrayals of irony that led to Gregor Samsa’s death in The Metamorphosis are shown in Gregor’s transformation‚ his
