Kafka uses peculiar and round-about ways of saying things when talking about Gregor in order to convey the complications that Gregor's personality presents. Gregor is a man who is completely controlled by the expectations that society and his family have of him. He knows that he should work hard, be responsible, sacrifice everything for his family and be the breadwinner. These are the expectations that dominate his whole life. The reason why he is so overwhelmed by them is because these stem from his social context, and not from his personal goals or dreams.
Kafka choice of language in this passage reflects this feeling. Gregor is constantly doing what he <em>ought</em> to do, and not what he <em>wants</em> to do or what he believes in. Even when going through extremely frightening and confusing situations, he remembers that what he ought to do is remain calm. And he strives to satisfy this expectation, regardless of what his true feelings might be.
Answer:
Letter writing about an unexpected absence.
Explanation:
To,
My dear friend Rick
I hope you are not angry with me. I know I promised to be there to see you awarded by the university. And I am so sorry to miss that. But I have a valid reason for skipping that.
Just a day before your event, my father got a heart attack and we had to get him straight to the hospital. And considering the seriousness of the situation, the doctor has advised us to be admitted for some days just to keep my dad under observation. And with my mother's condition, I am the only one available to stay with him. So, I had to stay there and take care of things. I didn't even get the chance to inform you and I apologize for that.
I will definitely make up for my absence. I only hope that you understand my situation and forgive me. Since we are still in the hospital, I can't go anywhere. But I will visit you soon.
Take care and will see you soon.
Lots of love,
Jackie.
