In the opening line of The Metamorphosis‚ Kafka’s treatment of chaos establishes his vision of the world as going on about its business without regard for the doings of humans. Gregor is the object of a manifestly pointless and arbitrary metamorphosis‚ which he handles as if it were as ordinary any run of the mill event.
