I didn’t get the meaning of this book after reading it, so I didn’t really appreciate it as much as I could have. I thought the writing style was quite mediocre and even comical at times. I remember thinking I would’ve liked to hear more of Gregor’s inner thoughts, but after searching up the meaning, I think it’s suitably written. I think about this book a lot and find myself liking it more and more with time. Capitalism sucks.

La metamorfosis es una tragicomedia que a medida que se acerca el final solo va quedando lo duro de la realidad.

Kafka relata el padecimiento y sufrimiento a razón de alguien que no tiene la culpa y quién también padece y sufre. Simbólica y desgarradora.

I didn’t expect to like this so much. The messages of isolation and unrecognized self-sacrifice hit hard
