A Haunting Masterpiece of Isolation and Existential Dread
Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis is a chilling exploration of alienation, identity, and the brutal indifference of society. Gregor Samsa’s transformation into a monstrous insect is not just a physical horror but a devastating metaphor for how the world discards those who can no longer serve it. With stark prose and unsettling irony, Kafka captures the loneliness of being misunderstood and the suffocating weight of duty. A century later, its themes remain disturbingly relevant, making this novella an unforgettable and deeply unsettling masterpiece..
