A review by jkpiowa
The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka

dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
This is WEIRD. Personally I read it as a analogue to queerness and "coming out", but it seems critique of this story is very undecided over what exactly Kafka was trying to explain. Regardless, it is sad, complex, and weird.
