Document Summary
The marxist criticism is the theory i would say that would prompt me to examine the term antagonist . This is because mr. samsa returns to his authority figure after his son, Gregor can no longer work because of his metamorphosis. Mr. samsa displays his authoritarian position with his messenger uniform when he does not take it off after work. Look up the term theme on the literary devices link. In 50 100 words, distinguish between the subject of the metamorphosis and its theme. The subject of the metamorphosis is isolation and the theme would be that isolation from life is a cause of death. Isolation is the subject because in the beginning gregor tells that he isolates himself from the world to get his work done. He doesn"t go out after work or socialize, he is all work work work. Once he morphs into a cockroach he realizes all the things he missed out on by just working.
