So far, I've only read the Metamorphosis from this. It's an incredibly rich story. There are seemingly hundreds of ways to read this story and connect to it. This is one of those stories that shows you your pain is not unprecedented. It feels as if it is just revealing an essential component to being a human

« La grave blessure de Gregor, dont il souffrait pendant plus d'un mois — la pomme, que personne n'avait osé retirer, restait fichée dans sa chair, comme un souvenir visible — semblait avoir rappelé à son père lui-même que Gregor, malgré son triste et répugnant aspect, n'en demeurait pas moins un membre de la famille, qu'on ne pouvait pas traiter en ennemi; le devoir familial exigeait de ravaler sa répulsion et de le supporter; il suffisait qu'on le supporte. »
