Readings on The Metamorphosis offers varying critical perspectives on famed German writer Franz Kafka's haunting novella, The Metamorphosis, in which Gregor Samsa awakens one morning to discover he has changed into an insect. Noted Kafka critics Robert Gray, Walter H. Sokel, Max Brod (Kafka's, confidant and biographer), and many other scholars contribute to this unique collection by presenting critical interpretations of the work, discussing the art and technical elements of the novella, exploring the psychology of the characters, and delving into the recurring themes throughout the piece.

Reviews
Grade 9 Up-Divided into four chapters, this volume addresses the art, themes, and psychology of this classic work, and then offers a section of interpretive criticism. Topics include a plot summary; character descriptions; Kafka's philosophy; historical background; imagery; religious metaphors; and themes of family, humanity, disgust, myth, guilt, power, isolation, rejection, self-caricature, banishment, allegory, and fable. Each essay is introduced with the scholar's credentials and states where the essay first appeared. A valuable resource.
