Franz Kafka?

No; for Kafka, you will need to walk, not run.

Do your own fucking homework

Heavily influenced by Austrian antisemitism and alienation of Jews in his homeland. Franz was deeply troubled, struggling to relate both to his society and his family, and explored the idea of fighting for your place in the world in his writing.

The metamorphosis is his most famous and, if you're doing a homework assignment, interesting piece. Appearing to be the story of a man who turns into a bug, it was actually about the alienation, disgust at and eventual destruction of the hardworking jews in the holocaust, a theme made much more specific in the stage adaptation.

No

>>10012327
it was actually a prophetic work regarding the rise of the bugman; a hueman more concerned with the ides of work and pop culture than his soul or body.

>tfw German speaker
>tfw get insanely triggered about translations which take "Ungeziefer" to mean "cockroach"

>>10012928
What word would you use instead

>>10012933
Vermin, pest, even bug I guess. We can infer from Kafka's descriptions that Gregor resembles a cockroach. It doesn't need to be said explicitly.

>>10012938
Vermin is closest. Bug is already way too specific.

He didn't get along with his father
