Metamorphosis
Author: Franz Kafka
Synopsis:
Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka tells the haunting story of Gregor Samsa, a young man who wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into a gigantic insect. This sudden and inexplicable change plunges Gregor into a nightmarish struggle for survival and identity. As he grapples with his new physical form, Gregor faces alienation and isolation from his family and society. His transformation leads to a series of tragic and absurd events, reflecting Kafka’s themes of existential angst, dehumanization, and the fraught dynamics of family relationships. Through this surreal and unsettling narrative, Kafka explores the profound impact of personal and social alienation on human existence.
