The following refers to Gregor Samsa's attitude toward his work:

Gregor dislikes his work as a traveling salesman. He particularly hates his tyrannical boss, the long hours, and the shallow acquaintances.

The only reason why Gregor does not quit his job is his family. He is helping his parents pay off a debt.

Evidence of his dislike for his job and the reason to keep on doing it is as follows:

"If I didn't hold back for my parents' sake, I would've quit ages ago. I would've gone to the boss and told him just what I think from the bottom of my heart. He would've fallen right off his desk!"

  • This question refers to the famous novel "<u>The Metamorphosis</u>" by Bohemian author Franz Kafka (1883-1924).
  • The main character is Gregor Samsa, a young man who one day wakes up to find himself transformed into an insect.
  • Gregor's transformation represents how little his life is worth to society. Gregor is not respected as a human being. He is just another cog in the machine, so speak.
  • Gregor is unhappy with his condition. He does not have a job or a lifestyle that he truly loves. All that matters is making money to survive.
  • Even though he hates his job, he does not quit because of his parents' debt.

Which of the following story scenarios would best fit the historical context of the 14th century?
Allushta [10]
My best guess is B. The town shoemaker marries a beautiful young maiden despite the wishes of her rich family. During the 14th century, the theme of chivalric romance and love is emerging and growing in literature. It is unlikely that the other options would fit the historical context because there are no such things as trolls, young girls would never be able to survive on their own, and a sailor would not have the resources to travel to every country (particularly because not many were known during the time period).

borishaifa [10]
If your personifying the object, I would mention how lonely it was whatever the object was because it never got used and if it did it was rare. I said it was dark and that the object was used to the dark so when it saw light it was very happy because it was so rare.
