“Goiz batean, Gregor Samsa amets nahasiak izanda esnatu zenean, zomorro beldurgarri bat bihurturik aurkitu zuen ohean bere burua”. Zalantza izan zuen amesgaiztotik aske ote zen ala ez. Baina, bai, esna zegoen, eta egokitu behar izan zuen, minutuak eta orduak aurrera egin ahala, zomorroaren izaerara. Harrigarria egiten zaigu zein naturaltasunez, zein errealismo izugarriz dagoen kontatua pertsonaiari gertatzen ari zaiona. “Zergatik zara nire beldur?”. Aitaren begiratu eta autoritate moralaren aurrean kokilduta bere gelako bakardade errudunera erretiratuko da, bertako ezkutalekuetan babesteko. Kontakizun eder honek hamaika interpretazio izan dezake, baita aitaren aurrean Kafkak berak sentitzen zuenaren transposizio literario moduan ere. Ez da hori noski Metamosfosia honetan bakarrik gertatzen, motibo berberak agintzen du Epaia edo Aitari gutuna gisako kontakizun autobiografikoetan ere. Ze arindua hartzen duen familia osoak, zomorroaz –Gregor Samsaz– libratzen direnean! Ez da komizitatea eta umore (beltza) falta familiaren mikrokosmos halakoaren barrutik eraikitako kontakizunean.

Gregor's sister got hot while he was a bug
5 stars
Content warning This review contains spoilers
The ending was really weird, like I understand Gregor dying but Kafka literally ended the book by talking about how Gregor's sister suddenly had big tits bc she went through puberty while everyone was stressed out.
I mean it's a totally mundane observation I guess, which seems to follow the theme of "wow what a fucked up situation I'm in, let me worry about literally everything that isn't the fact that I'm a bug"

Review of 'The Metamorphosis' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I gave this book 3 stars not because of Kafka's writing or because I thought it was flawed in style. I gave it 3 stars because I found Gregor's family to be the most self-serving insects on earth!!! I felt so bad for Gregor, after the apple in the back. And I really, REALLY couldn't stand his father and after a while his sister made me SICK!!! I know it was necessary to show that Gregor wasn't a part of the family anymore because of some condition (it is said to be the self-inflicted condition of being a writer so I don't feel bad for Kafka- he could have given it up) and isolation and whatever but his family just really, really irked me otherwise I would have given it 5 stars. But even so, Kafka waS a twisted genius.
