Gregor Samsa was pretty much just a NEET. Really disliked Metamorphosis, unless I’m the point of the book?

>> No.12697131

neet means not employed
gregor was employed unless you mean after the metamorphosis took place in which case you're kinda right. kafka wrote other stories y'know

>> No.12697137

>>12697119
The NEET phenomenon is sort of the point. Samsa becomes a literal pest to his family at the same moment he becomes unable to work. By doing literally nothing, he is undermining the order of his house, and by not working he has forfeited his value as a human being even to those who are meant to love him unconditionally.

Sorry, I mean after he “was/wasn’t” a roach he became a neet. I enjoy Kafka which is why I hated Metamorphosis so much. I may be far out in left field for saying this but he really shouldn’t have written that book.

Appreciate the explanation, I understand the point of the book but I’m really not impressed by the message. Man descending down the chain of life to animal is very unspectacular, at lest to me it is.

It is one of Kafka's most obvious critiques of capitalism, and it is very much a product of industrialism, and those two things aren't for everybody. I didn't think of it as "man descending to animal" though that's one dimension of it. I thought of it as Samsa's income is the only thing that guarantees his humanity even to his own mother.

I haven’t thought of it in the industrialist sense though it definitely fits in. Reading the book I viewed it as a bit of a comedy. When he becomes a roach he also becomes a parasite onto his family economically.

>> No.12697255

>>12697242
It might still be a comedy, but if so, its a black comedy about how you're parents might not actually love you.

Yes, that their love is just a biological drive to see their offspring succeed and breed. Proving to themselves that their sperm/egg was strong enough to thrive haha

>>12697278
More complicated. They just wanted Gregor to support them so they wouldn't have to work ever, and could eventually send his more-talented-than-him sister to music school. Gregor's family relationships are revealed to be entirely instrumental.

Jewish education basically consists in:
- read and study a lot
- learn to laugh at yourself
- fight stupidity anywhere you find it
Consequences shouldn't be a surprise

>> No.12697394

>>12697284
I understand that and you are correct. I decided to take a more biological approach that explains their behavior outside of the book’s confines. They wanted Gregor to work so their offspring could succeed. Even if their son has to cap his potential at the exchange of brightening his sister’s future.
