Question

Compare Reread paragraph five of Kafka's story, and then consider Kuper's

Answer 1

In Metamorphosis, Gregor's boss represents the grind of the morn working class life and its unquestioned authority over people.

Explanation:

In his rendition of Kafka's classic story The Metamorphosis, Kuper captures the rhetorical thoughts in Gregor's mind through images, in almost a continuation of the undulating visual metaphor of Gregor turning into an insect.

His relationship with his boss is one of oppressed and the oppressor and thus the visuals follow  them. Gregor's thoughts reveal his hatred for the authority he must submit to everyday through shackles, closed spaces and sharp lines.
