Gregor's father began to stamp his foot and wave the cane and the newspaper to lead Gregor back to his room. “Nothing Gregor said made any difference; in fact, nothing he said was understood” (Kafka 327). In this story, the author exposes many negative aspects of his life, both mentally and physically. The author did not have much relationship with his mother and father. Franz's mother, Julie, was a devoted housewife who constantly sided with Kafka's father and did not understand her son's dream of becoming a writer. In The Metamorphosis, our first impression of Gregor's father is that of a strong man with an angry language. Gregor's father cannot understand and does not seem to care about his sons' new condition. In the story, Gregor is forced to take a job that he cannot stand in order to support the family and pay off his father's debt. The interaction between the main character Gregor and his father is comparable to that of the author and his father. Since Kafka was the only son in the family, he was constantly under pressure to take over the family business. His father did not approve of his writings and wanted Franz to become a businessman like him. In The Metamorphosis, when Gregor first leaves the room, his father's first reaction is to force Gregor back into the room. This could be a metaphor for how Kafka's father constantly forced him to do what he wanted instead of allowing Kafka to write. Every time Franz Kafka tried to explain to his father that he wanted to become a writer and not a trader, his father was very upset. Franz was exposed to frequent abuse and yelling from his father due to his disapproval of Kafka's love of writing. In The Metamorphosis, Mr. Samsa is... middle of paper ...... because of Gregor's relationship with his father and his abusive nature towards Gregor. When The Metamorphoses was first written, Kafka lived in a discriminatory society where people were forced to work due to economic demands. The author felt obligated to work for an insurance company he despised because it took away time from his writing. At that time, discrimination was a reality for Kafka, he felt alienated a bit like the main character of Metamorphoses. In the book, Gregor is seen as different, and his family and manager look at him as if he is less than a human being. Much like the main character in the story, Kafka struggled to achieve higher social status. This relates to how society viewed Kafka at the time. Metamorphosis describes a human being who suffers and dies a slow, painful death, much like how Kafka described his own life..
