Question

In Kafka's story, Gregor was at his job for fifteen years without being ill. However, in the graphic novel, Gregor had not been ill even once in the last five years on the job. What might you conclude about Gregor's age in each version of the story?

Answer 1

Answer:

From the book and the Graphic novel it can be said that he is a young man since he has only being working for the company five years but he is in debt with them, and all his family depends on him, they also have a photograph of him about his military service on the wall. In the graphic novel it seems to be older now that he has been 15 years in the company and maybe he started after military service

Explanation:

It can also be inferred the absurdity of the universe in which it doesn’t matter how good you are, for instance Gregor is a good man how has a job he dislikes just to cover his family expenses, and to pay his sister’s studies. It suggest the universe is an ungoverned place without any order of justice or punishment.
