Kafka's Metamorphosis
Metamorphosis: Transformations
The Metamorphosis as authored and offered by Franz Kafka in 1915 is often labeled as one of the more transforming, to use a pun, works in the history of literature of the last century or two, if not well beyond that.

As suggested by the assignment being completed in this report, Metamorphosis is a story of transformations and how these changes can lead to significant changes in perceptions and reactions even from the people and groups that embraced the changed person in prior examples and instances.

However, friends usually gravitate to and associate with each other because they are likeminded with each other. Much the same is usually true of people that live together...
