Open The Door Gregor Samsa
814 wordsDespite appearances which may seem to promote a sense of comedy, Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis actually contains an enormous quantity of symbolism, which serves to underscore several literal events which may have taken place in said story. Within the novella, many literary techniques are employed in order to contribute to the depth of the story line, with symbolism being the most prevalent, though not the sole method. These other literary tools are secondary in their nature, but they remain qu...

Two books, which support my point of view, are The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka and The Plague by Albert Camus. These two stories use setting, plot structure and s...
