I don't get it>dude your boss won't care if you literally turned into a cockroach bro he needs you at workYeah I get it, work sucks and bosses are parasitic leeches that will face the wall when the day of the gunpowder comes, but other than that I don't get it>dude his family are cold and unfeeling towards an emotional predicamentSo are mine, that's not an epic Russian only observation, so are most peoples families
>>24963837it's a metaphor for a terminal illnessyour boss doesn't care, you still need to work. to your family you're dead the very moment they learn the news. it turns out the worse your predicament, the most uncaring your loved ones will be, as it's not really 'worth' the emotional labor of being there for someone who is about to check out. at best they'll be polite as they wait for you to die and let them get on with their lives, at worst they'll hurry you along.
You lack the required soul.
>>24963837>that's not an epic Russian only observation, so are most peoples familiesIt's almost as if it's relatable or something. Holy fuck you must be American.
>>24964367Worse, I'm Anglo but I feel like I'm one of the few Anglos with an actual heart
It would've been good if it actually went somewhere. But just having the situation be shit until he dies is the kind of terrible writing only eastern euros could praise as great.
>>24963837He is Czech asshole.
>>24964534lmao what has this board come to
>>24963837>>his family are cold>So are mineThe story escalates with the parents being better off after Gregor has turned into a bug and died. If this describes your parents then I am genuinely sorry and your problem likely isn't that you don't get Kafka, but that you understand him too much.
>>24964902Well shit that isn't good bros
>>24963837It's supposed to be humorous. All of Kafka's stories are comical, people just didn't get it because it's very black humor. Brod describes a reading Kafka gave from The Trial while he was working on it, where Kafka couldn't get the words out because he was cracking up so bad at his own work.
>>24964567>>24963837He's neither Russian nor Czech.
Why the fuck is this the first result for Kafka
>>24963837It's breadwinner woes pathetic worm must always project his self-pity into his garbage writing to gain sympathy from autistic teenagers. Cancer to literature. Poison to youths. Rest in piss, clown.
