The words that Kafka uses to describe the insect Gregor changed into. The opening of the story clearly introduces the main story to the reader with the creation of a pathetic image in the mind of the readers. Kafka’s choice of diction is sufficient and well calculated. The target audience in this story is the people who spend their entire life working to please others and forget about their own needs. It is important to note that, irony is used to disapprove Gregor’s thoughts which were exactly the opposite in reality. Significant emphasis is attached to his feelings and thoughts in an effort to bring out his current understanding of the world prior to his mutation and after his metamorphosis. Told from the third person perspective, Kafka uses an intelligent approach by narrating the story from the protagonist’s viewpoint, and all the readers use Gregor’s eyes as the lens to view the events in the story. A thorough scrutiny into Gregor experiences casts real scenes in Franz Kafka’s past life which was miserable and pathetic just like the symbolic cockroach Grogor metamorphosized into. This context embarks on an analysis of the key aspects of this book in a bid to unravel the author’s message, while at the same time noting the literary worth of Kafka’s masterpiece. ![]()
