Most of the short story felt to resonate more with disabilities than capitalism to me? Anyways, just was not for me.

My Review of The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
What the actual heck was that? I honestly don't even know if I should call it a "story"—that feels like an insult to the definition of what a story should be. The Metamorphosis was a total letdown. I was expecting something deep or philosophical, but instead, it felt like nothing more than an overhyped personal rant. I get that Kafka had some serious issues with his father (his letter is a mess, by the way), but seriously, why turn your personal problems into literature? Just because you had some family drama doesn’t mean the rest of us need to read about it.
I honestly don’t understand why people praise Kafka so much. It’s like he took his unresolved issues, wrapped them in a weird, nonsensical plot, and slapped it on a page hoping it would be seen as profound. If this is considered great writing, I’m definitely not sold.
