Franz Kafka.


  • I already have a good understanding of Kafka and his work Metamorphosis as having studied it previously, so I knew the story well but I wasn't aware of how Kafka used his work as a metaphorical reflection of himself. 
  • He appears quite and unhappy guy from going off the research and text. His work reflects the struggles with his family particularly the farther and his frantic mental state throughout his life. But from what I have read so far Gregor Samsa seems to be a good example of his reflection. 
  • However I have seen many different interpretations of Gregor some say when he changes he morphs into a Cockroach, Bed Bug or beetle. So I am going to put these all together and say that Gregor is some kind of hideous Coleptera(beetle species).     
  • This could be a really exciting idea to explore more, trying to imagine and making it visual. 
  • Also looking into his other work.
  • He is an interesting character.
