Roach Dance: Kafka’s, “The Metamorphosis”
We're going roach mode.
This week we cover Franz Kafka's 1915 classic, "The Metamorphosis," a story about a man getting straight up turned into a giant cockroach...bro still tries to go to work.
We get into the life of Kafka and the challenges of life as a Jewish man in early century Austria-Hungary. We discuss his numerous complexes and obsessions and how they manifested in this book that would become a staple of classrooms everywhere.
