Die Verwandlung by Franz Kafka

This is my second time reading Die Verwandlung by Kafka as I was asked by my lecturer to reacquaint myself with the book for the upcoming Seminar on Kafka/Die Verwandlung. I really enjoyed it the first time when I read it back in school and even more so the second time around. I think it’s one of my favorite classics to date. I remember reading it in school and my teacher asking us if we thought it to be a comical or sad book. Even back then I thought it to be a really sad story. I felt so bad for Gregor and whilst I understood the difficulty of the situation for his family i really hate their opportunistic nature.

This is truly one of those classics where I 100% get the hype. It’s not only a classic because it’s old and was good back then. It’s one of the few classics i actually enjoyed WHILST reading!
5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I get the book at the same time i don't get it.
I do bave a love-hate relationship but neither is too strong to push me about it. Though, one day, I was facing some issues and it recalled me of Gregor and i desperately wanted to continue reading it.
Maybe because it grows inside you.
The later part really hit me for a moment, specially how her sister's behqvior evolved.
Perhaps would look forward to read more of Kafka. For now, The Metamorphosis was it.

Eu achei injusto ele não merecia aquele final, ele foi ignorado pela família isso só mostra como algumas pessoas são ingratas. Ele batalhou pela familia e mesmo foi tratado daquele jeito
