that reside in the opposite side of the spectrum. Moments of lasting pain and trivial endeavors that leave an imprint on us unlike the moments of joy.

In “The Metamorphosis” By Franz Kafka‚ the style enhances the nightmarish quality of the work in many ways. This quote from line 304-306 can be used to illustrate this when Gregor says‚ “I’ll open up immediately‚ just a moment. I’m slightly unwell‚ an attack of dizziness.
