Description

In the Metaporhosis, the German novelist Franz Kafka warns that capitalism harbours inevitable changes that will result ultimately in loneliness and horror.

He does so with a prophecy that women will replace men in the 20th-century workforce, to their detriment.

The Metamorphosis deals with an absurd, or wildly irrational, event, which in itself suggests that the story operates in a random, chaotic universe.

The absurd event is Gregor's waking up to discover he has turned into a giant insect, and since it's so far beyond the boundaries of a natural occurrence, Gregor's metamorphosis takes on a supernatural significance.

Throughout ?The Metamorphosis, industrialism is expressed in a precise technical writing style using the themes of work, buying power, and dehumanisation through working too much.

All this makes the story seem very factory-like as it warns us to find meaning aside from work and to beware victimisation, parasitic relationships, and abusers.

However, these are exactly the issues we face today.
