Question

Click to read the passage from "The Metamorphosis," by Franz Kafka. Then answer the question.

Answer 1

In the first paragraph of The Metamorphosis, Kafka tells his reader that his main character—Gregor Samsa—has become a giant verminous bug. At the begining Gregor thinks is just a dream but then he realizes that it is real.

In the firts chapter Gregor wakes up to find himself transformed into a giant insect. After examining his new physiology, complete with numerous thin legs, a hard back, and a segmented belly, he wonders only momentarily what has happened to him. His attention is quickly distracted as he observes his room, noting its small size and seeing on the wall a picture of a woman he had clipped out of a magazine and framed. Wanting to go back to sleep, Gregor realizes that he cannot turn over on his side, which is the only position he can sleep in. (Taken for gradesaver.com)

As we can see in the text the details about how Gregor has changed physically is the part that helps us the most to understand the what he is feeling and seeing is a reality. The word "verminous" and the size of the room can be used as metaphor about sadness and sickness but the physical description and its feeling are way too real. The answer is C.The details of the character's many legs
