Question

What theme or event in The Metamorphosis can be better understood by learning a bit about Kafka's own life?

Answer 1

A. This shows Gregor's struggle of living with a weakening physical body, while still being able to think clearly.

Answer 2

The theme in the Metamorphosis is an irrational or unacceptable event, how Gregor turned into a situation where he can't do anything but to accept the consequences of his actions. It can relate to Kafka's own life where to face the absurd event might be as difficult as Gregor's experience.
