The Metamorphosis
Author(s):
Charles Dizenzo
Everyone is familiar with Kafka's macabre tale of a man who has suddenly, and unaccountably, turned into a giant cockroach. But here, thanks to the skill of the adaptor, the humor and pathos of the situation are heightened through their theatrical setting--and the irony of Gregor's plight becomes even more eloquently clear. It is not only the story of a man fallen victim to a cruel fate, but also of the pettiness and stupidity of those who should feel the deepest compassion for him. The terrible thing which has happened to Gregor is apparently of less concern to them than how this affects their own selfish purposes. As a result his ultimate lot becomes immensely moving, and vividly instructive of the callousness of men toward their fellows.
