Реферат: Metamorphosis Essay Research Paper Metamorphosis ResponseGregor had
not change drastically. His loss of relation with his family was
nothing very new, there was a lacking of personal connection with
his parents for quite awhile before hand. His parents treated him
as a form of hired help since he had taken the job to pay for his
father’s debts. Grete, Gregor’s sister, seemed to be the only
family member to change her perception of Gregor. She went from
being the overemotional, little seventeen-year-old girl to a
bitter, matured stranger_the first in the Samsa household to
declare that Gregor needed to be exterminated.
Gregor did not seemed shocked that his family wanted to kill him
off either, almost as if he had been expecting it. He was only
upset because he had scared his sister. It was as though Gregor
had removed himself completely from his self, bordering on
indifference. Self-alienation was the word commonly used to
describe Gregor’s state in the end. Although this self-alienation
came strongest in the end of his life, it had been occurring from
the moment Gregor accepted his life at the office. Alienation
coming from his family had been occurring from the moment as well.
Could anything have been done to stop either?
Pessimistically speaking, no. Gregor accepted the office thinking
that it would later lead to a happier and more self-fulfilling
future. Most people do this in everyday life. We do one thing
after another, building stepping stones that we will rarely
achieve only because we will never be satisfied with what we have
in the end and force ourselves to keep going. This is the way of a
vast portion of the world’s population. Lack of satisfaction is
what keeps us going. Should we ever achieve full satisfaction, we
will have no purpose.
