Question

As in any piece of fiction, there are several main themes that run through Kafka's The Metamorphosis.  Choose ONE theme that you discovered during your reading.  How does the theme you chose affect your life?  Explain.

Answer 1

One of the themes that I will acknowledge is Grete's character and resilience. At first she was the baby sister, His brother provided for her ( and in fact, for all his family) and she longed for violin classs ( which of course his brother will pay for)

When Gregor experienced a metamorphosis, she started caring for him, feeding and cleaning up after him. Eventually, she get tired of taking care of him and realises that he is a burden for their existance.

And that is the moment when she thrives and florish. In spite of a bad situation, they ( as a family) take the best of it, united and decided to move to a smaller apartment to save money. During this process, Grete  grows into a beautiful and secure girl.

Resilience is the ability to recover from difficult circumstances. As Grete and her family did. Resilience is what gives me energy to face life in spite of hard situations that I have encountered.
