All Gregor had was the thought of "I am..". All he had was his personality.

Gregor feels guilty about what he is doing to him family, much like Kafka.

Kafka's sister all died in the holocaust. Something Kafka could have possibly seen coming.

Wakes up as a bug, thinks he will miss his train. Is convinced he can still make it even as a bug. Kafka defined 20 century fears, hit too close to home for some. His books were banned and burned by Nazi Germany. "Man is but a pawn in a sinister conspiracy". The transformation (separation) is when someone is forced to do something continually for a long period of time that isn't human nature. Trapped inside his monstrous exterior, Gregor is still very much human inside, and in need for compassion.

Kafkas health was failing soon after he finished the novella. He had TB, which eventually took his life.

Young Kafka is the big and powerful man of the family, this creates a hard relationship with his father. Just like Gregor and his father

Gregor finally scares his fathers boss, which he never thought he could do, when he becomes a bug

Family believes that Gregor does not understand what is happening and they view him as a monster, so they lock him away

The sister takes on the role of helping Gregor to feel that she has control over something and is a powerful part of the family

Kafka believed that "Whatever people can imagine, they will eventually do. And they can imagine a lot."

Theme reflects kafkas reality

Fight for power within the family

Strange responses to the change; --Rather than resent his family, he feels shame.... Similarly Rather than feel sympathy for gregor, they shun him

# data[].attributes.body
Kafka's father was everything kafka wasn't(big and powerful). Gregor is finally able to scare the boss as shown when he scares the manager away. Kafka was a jew in highly antisemetic prague, which his family covers up by becoming german. Gregor felt shame for not being able to support his family.

# data[].attributes.body
At the beginning of the novel, Gregor appears to be carrying the entire weight of the family.

The novel displays a shift in family dynamics- in the first chapter, Gregor appears very much in charge (of the family, of himself and his duties), but in the second chapter we see Grete begin to gain much more control (as Gregor loses his).

The throwing of the apple occurs at a time where the father had already taken on a new role of power, and had very much accepted the fact that Gregor was not longer a true member of the family.

Kafka's metamorphisis

Protagonists fight for control. The sister, mother and father struggle to support each other while Gregor refuses to leave his room.

Kafka had a bad relationship with his father and in the novel its portrayed the same with Gregor and his father. The father in both situations disagreed with the son and takes control.

When Gregor is the vermin, he scares away all who see him, he achieved his goal of scaring the boss (father)

Family in denial of terrible bad luck. Fear Gregor. Not human.

Gregor carrying all responsibilities.

Family- disfunctional.

Shift in relationships - Gregor in control in the first chapter. Grete assumes this role in the second. (Becomes the keeper - decide what will happen to Gregor, strips away his identity (clears room))

Novel lacks faith, humanity, love
