What Kafkaesque Examples Can You Find In The Metamorphosis?

The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka is one of the most famous examples of Kafkaesque literature, which explores themes of alienation, dehumanization, and existentialism. These themes are evident in the protagonist Gregor Samsa’s transformation into an insect.
In this short story, the reader is introduced to Gregor Samsa, who wakes up one day to find himself transformed into a giant insect. He has no way of communicating with his family or anyone else about his condition. He is confined to his room and slowly starves to death. His family slowly starts to forget about him and he becomes a ghost in his own life.
After Gregor’s death, his family tries to move on with their lives but finds it difficult because they have relied on Gregor’s income for so long. Only his sister shows him any compassion and even she is eventually driven away by his insect form.
The story is narrated by an omniscient third-person narrator who never reveals Gregor’s thoughts or feelings.
