Answer 2

The Metamorphosis is a short story written by Franz Kafka. The definition of an absurdist story is a story whose characters cannot find any meaning in life. The story may be humorous or irrational. The element of The Metamorphosis that makes it an absurdist story is the absence of a reason for Gregor's transformation into an insect (c). Gregor is transformed into an insect right at the beginning of the story. The rest of the story deals with the ways Gregor and his family battle to adjust to his transformation.
