@nick_kasmik: The Metamorphosis, or Die Verwandlung, is a novella by Franz Kafka, first published in 1915. It tells the story of Gregor Samsa, who wakes up one morning transformed into an insect. The story follows Gregor’s struggles as he adjusts to his new body and how his family reacts to his transformation. His sister, Grete, initially cares for him, but as time passes, the family becomes increasingly repulsed by Gregor. The novella explores themes of alienation, isolation, and the burden of responsibility. Gregor’s transformation can be seen as a symbol of his alienation from his family and society, as well as the dehumanizing effects of modern life. Despite the horrific elements, The Metamorphosis contains dark humor and has been interpreted through various lenses, including religious, economic, and psychological perspectives. #books #philosophy

Food for thought; Gregor is not someone to sympathize with. He became an insect because he failed to exercise his humanity. If you're in a desperate situation and more worried about work than taking care of your problem, you're not a hero. I'm not denying your point, but we should reflect on the implications of it. We've become a culture of drone insects, like Gregor.

Kafka is love! By the way, fear of getting late even when you have turned into a literal insect is the most German thing ever.
