Kafka's absurd and terrifying masterpiece, The Metamorphosis, is a tale of the end times that tells how the feelings of guilt, inadequacy and loneliness in the modern individual can cause their own disaster. Kafka's The Metamorphosis offers one of the most effective stories, perhaps the most powerful metaphor, of the human experience of alienation in modern literature. The story of a young man working as a salesman who wakes up in the morning to find himself transformed into a pest is truly an immortal scene, a provocative fantasy. The long story will continue with the hero's effort to exist within his family and middle-class life as a pest. In addition to the issue of alienation, transformation is also a great reckoning with man's "adaptability" and conformism. However, it is also extremely striking with its selfishness, self-interest, cruelty, "wolfishness"... The narrative, which is also extraordinarily striking with the mirrors it keeps unconscious, is known as Kafka's most popular work.
