Court reviewed The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
Enjoyable, interesting, curious
4 stars
I'm not sure what to make of this other than perhaps the futility of life. Will need to let it marinade.

The Metamorphosis (German: Die Verwandlung) is a novella written by Franz Kafka which was first published in 1915. One of Kafka's best-known works, The Metamorphosis tells the story of salesman Gregor Samsa, who wakes one morning to find himself inexplicably transformed into a huge insect (German ungeheures Ungeziefer, literally "monstrous vermin") and subsequently struggles to adjust to this new condition. The novella has been widely discussed among literary critics, with differing interpretations being offered.

Gregor's sister got hot while he was a bug

Content warning This review contains spoilers
The ending was really weird, like I understand Gregor dying but Kafka literally ended the book by talking about how Gregor's sister suddenly had big tits bc she went through puberty while everyone was stressed out.
I mean it's a totally mundane observation I guess, which seems to follow the theme of "wow what a fucked up situation I'm in, let me worry about literally everything that isn't the fact that I'm a bug"
