"Not" just a story about a person turned into HUGE big.

For this entry, mine is about how Metamorphosis is not just a simple novel, story about man turning into huge bug. It is so complex and well written novel that has so much to study about and therefore it has been analyzed for almost hundred years.

Kafka’s Die Verwandlung, or The Metamorphosis, has sparked much critical interest during the past century because it is indefinable, complex and undeniably unique.
First Considered that metamophosis as simple story. nothing much to think about.
But Kafka's The Metamorphosis strikes me and I say this not only because the adult life into which you are entering will inevitably have its kafkaesque moments. Rather, with its exploration of identity, of belonging and exclusion, of tolerance and intolerance, The Metamorphosis raises many questions for people
Yet, the supernatural occurrences of the story are not uncommon in fiction. Tales of magical forces and unexplainable phenomena permeate the literary tradition of every culture, and Kafka continues and contributes to that practice. His unique combination of magic and mundanity seems to be responsible for the awe-filled reactions that the story inspires, for we are familiar with magical tales themselves.
The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka is Packed with symbolism, allusions and analogies The Metamorphosis has been interpreted in numerous ways. Although many interpretations of the story exist, as the title implies, the main theme of the story is that of a change and transformation: the transformation of the protagonist, his sister, his dad, his whole family structure and their attitudes toward him. However, Gregor and his family are not alone in their transformation - Gregor’s room changes as well. The changes in Gregor’s room echo his physical and mental deterioration because the room is analogous to Gregor’s state of being.
Important to see Kafka in context of the artistic and intellectual ferment going on around him

This may explain why something about The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka is one of the most analyzed literary pieces of the 20th century.
