Metamorphosis and Reality’s Irrationalism Everyone interprets Kafka in a unique way. Metamorphosis is of no exception. I consider this novel to be a reflection of one’s thoughts and perspectives. After some contemplation and introspection‚ it became clear that Metamorphosis depicts the irrationality and absurdity of reality. Only in an irrational world could a man wake up one morning to realize he has transformed into an insect‚ and proceed to worry about arriving to work on time. Only in an absurd

‘In Memory of C. Tallis and R. Turner’ In this essay I will discuss the effects of W. H. Auden’s poem ‘In Memory of W. B.
