Famous First Lines: The Metamorphosis Free Poster
The Metamorphosis is an absurdist novella by Franz Kafka and is one of his best-known works. The irrational universe of Kafka’s story creates for a slightly supernatural, wholly chaotic experience. The relatively calm and unsurprised nature of the characters helps build the story’s surreal atmosphere and pushes the theme of disconnect between the mind and body. Kafka questions the reaches of sympathy and mediates on human feelings of inadequacy, all while narrating an existentialist tale.
