Essay / The reasons for life in the myth of Sisyphus, by Albert...
If one feels obliged to perform something or that it is just a routine that he is required to follow, then in return, he will remove his free will and put it in place. in an unnatural way of life following the model that society has built for them; it doesn't matter if it was their choice or not. Franz Kafka demonstrates this in The Metamorphosis by creating a character named Gregor who is so caught up in his monotonous life that he transforms into the literal being his life was a metaphor for, an insect. Gregor is underestimated and alone even though he is always surrounded by his family. He is the only person in her life who made the choice to follow the "ideal" life that society leads her to believe she should have had and this only leads to pain and heartbreak and ultimately his demise in because of the change he is experiencing. Once Gregor turns into an insect, he finally feels like he's alone, even though he was alone all the time; he becomes even more of an outcast than before. His family shows him no sympathy, despite the fact that he has provided for all their needs and expenses for years. This demonstrates how the struggle of life is worthless if it is done for others and that the choices made in life are worthless in the world..
