julsineya [31]

Kuper depicts the scene differently mostly because showing the sister and father at different doors would require more illustrations and  wouldn't add to the story.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Metamorphosis is a novel authored by Franz Kafka and later by Peter Kuper. Gregor Samsa is a central character of this novel, where one morning it often happens that Gregor finds himself into a totally transform being and he has turned into a giant insect.

The reason why Kuper depicts the scene differently is because there is not a detailed description about the scene of Gregor’s sister and father. This novel basically is about how human beings when faced with a challenging transformation should adapt to those changes that occurs in their life and surroundings.
