Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. In The Metamorphosis, Kafka shows us how genres can overlap, making fiction
vagabundo [1.1K]

The correct answer is :

In The Metamorphosis, Kafka shows us how genres can overlap, making fiction seem like a more versatile form of writing than it might otherwise be. While the story is realistic in its character depictions, it’s based on the surrealistic event of a man changing into an insect. Gregor’s transformation into an insect is also allegorical , since it serves to symbolize the larger themes of the story, such as isolation and alienation.
