ANALYSIS ON THE LITERARY WORK METAMORPHOSIS

One of the themes that is most highlighted in the work "Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka (creator of the most influential works of universal literature) is human selfishness before the well -being of others, where the main character, Gregorio Samsa leavesEconomically sustain your family because of a physical transformation which makes it impossible to continue working, so your family is forced to work to get what Gregory has subsidized them in recent years. In this period of time the feelings of their own relatives are also transformed, who stop seeing Gregorio as a human being and begin to see him as one more expense, having disgust and contempt for his appearance;When Gregorio realizes what he now means for his family, he makes him fall into a depression that ends up causing his death.

One of Jean Paul Sartre’s known phrases was: "Try to love others, you will tell me the result", taking into account the context in which we place ourselves, the result of this appointment as most things in life,People handle a double standard with a different facet in the situation that are found, that is, if any person is in a good situation, their loved ones will be surrounding it, but if by the contary this person is presented with some adversity, fewThey are the ones that help it in these cases;This is what happens to Gregorio when he feels rejected by his family because of his transformation;Despite the sacrifices and days of tiredness for the arduous hours of work that has to receive Gregorio to support his family, he does not receive the gratification he deserves or the care he needs.

Everything that Gregorio works for love of his family, is not reflected in any of them, who decide to leave him isolated from society so as not to cause discomfort;In these cases it is where society is shown as a materialistic society moving away from ethics and moralOwn feelings, having a selfish vision for others, and even with which it is supposed to be the basis of support in any type of situation even good or bad, where it would be believed that both parties would have mutual help, however the only thingWhat results is the bitter truth of an insatiable materialism.

Most people place above all their own well -being, making us locate in a harsh reality, where the human being looks from a deplorable perspective, making it feel like a useful object while it can be used, but as soon as he stopsDoing this becomes a negative burden for those around it;A comparison could be made with disposable materials, which when they are in good condition are very useful to meet our needs, but when they reach their expiration point, it is nothing more than a simple waste.

Even when George dies, his family expresses to have a better life, it is evidence of what can change the value of a person in a matter of seconds, being one day an indispensable person for others, and the next day he is being a hindrance andOne more problem to face for those around it

In conclusion, you can’t be sure who you have next to you if not only in situations of misfortune, we will know where they are few who help, independent of what they have meant for your life. Sometimes we are wrong about what people really are and how their reaction is going to be in the face of changes, because neither one knows their own instinct. No one is safe from being a materialistic person, because from an objective point of view no matter how good human beings are on the outside, some carry a selfish spirit inside that sometimes they go out and astonish themselves to those who are least awaited asto his own family and friends. The work "Metamorphosis" is not only recorded in a few sheets but has a story of a society which every day is surprised more than their actions can really cause.
