Kafka je uvek sposoban da uzme motiv, ubaci u svoju iščašenu čorbu, promeša kutlačom morbidnosti i stvori eliksir nadahnuća. Kafka je ovde postao mentalno poremećeni Čuang-cu, gde nema sna o leptiru već buđenje u telu odvratne, sluzave bube. Gregor, naš glavni lik, tragični antiheroj ove pričice se pretvara u bubu a prvo pomišlja na posao...
Robovao je godinama služeći porodici koja je sedela kući ne radeći ništa;
A rob se navikao na posao, a navike su gadne... potrebna je jedna žestoka promena, jedna metamorfoza.
Ovaj put njegova porodica mora da se brine o njemu, i za to vreme propada jer nema više hard-working slave da im puni džepove i želuce.
Pa onda ogorčenost zbog promene koja je i njih dohvatila, sve do samog straha a eventualno i prezira koji raste u bes i bukvalno ubija našeg dragog Gregora, koji poput vernog psa istinski veruje u dobrotu svojih roditelja, i svoje sestre koja je čak najgora od sviju.
Nađoh možda jednu aluziju na našeg junaka u seriji "Black Books" gde se junakinja susreće sa svojom izgubljenom rodbinom koja gleda njenu korist, a jedan član te porodice je i Gregor, maloumni nemi div. Verujem da su upravo odavde izvukli skicu za tog lika :)

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed The Metamorphosis. Like the vast majority of books in classic literature, The Metamorphosis is very description heavy (like, how long does it take you to get out of bed? I understand that you are this weird but thing, but seriously?!) but for the most part, the story really intrigued me. For a translated book, the sentences flowed together quite nicely, and I would never had guessed that the book was originally written in German had I not been told. There was probably some incredibly deep meaning behind the plot and characters that completely went over my head, but I liked the story nonetheless. Franz Kafka's writing style is quite long winded in some parts, but once I got over that, The Metamorphosis was a good read.

No importa cuantas veces relea La Metamorfosis, siempre le voy a encontrar cosas nuevas.
Kafka my beloved!
Fun fact: mis lineas favoritas son la primera y la última. Magic.
