For example‚ some forms include parables‚ proverbs‚ and prophetic declarations (Bloomberg‚ 2009‚ p.92). Because form criticism uses a skeptical framework to interpret Biblical texts‚ form critics deconstruct or reduce Bible passages

punishment for his hubris‚ is now set earnestly in motion‚ for this innocent fall from the stepladder is the catalyst which brings to the surface Ivan Ilyich’s ‘incurable illness.’” (Engelberg 295) The “incurable illness” that Engelberg here refers to is the very same meaningless life that plagues Gregor just the same.
