Someone on here recommended this to me when I said I was new here. Expected some cool shit but it was just a complete meme fest with like philosophical boring stuff. I thought /lit/ read good books? Thank god for GRRM, Douglas Adams and Jon Scalzi, they may not be as deep as this Kafka guy or whatever but its atleast fun to read their books.

Is this the kind of boring shit you guys read in general?

The whole point I got from the book was that he, due to being forced by society and his parents to be "productive", was secretly depressed the whole time and never felt any self worth or self actualization. The little bit of self esteem he has comes from him being able to earn money for his family even if he hates his job. Add to this that he is treated like crap by his family from the very start (for example his parents testing on him what food is still edible), being physical ill (the itchy spots on his exoskelleton) and being sexually frustrated and longing for human contact (the picture of the woman he has on his wall). Even if Gregor isnt conciously aware of this or even in actively in denial he is subconciously feeling terrible because of this and the book itself tells us these things subtely. One day Gregor breaks under this pressure and is no longer able to function, if he really turns into an insect is left vague intentionally. Keep in mind that the original german word for him is "Ungeziefer" which tanslates to "vermin" more than it does to bug or insect or whatever is used in the english version.
>>
>>9410566
Thanks, I appreciate this a lot more than you might think. I got the idea with the fly from me being a kid and reading an ad about a local play of the metamorphisis where more or less only the premise was explained probably because people older than me were expected to know what it was roughly about. The imagery of a man turning into an insect stuck with me.
>>
>>9410702
>if he really turns into an insect is left vague intentionally.
No, he does, the reaction of others pretty much confirms it. But it's a metaphor of course.
But yes, I think you may be onto something.
I thought it was simply a metaphor for the absurdity of the world but your interpretation is more specific and interesting.

I thought the reaction of the others might come from him looking really awful due to his stress and him most likely not taking care of himself anymore. One thing that bugged me about him possibly still being a human is the apple scene which might not be impossible due to brittle skin or something, Im no expert, but I would find it a lot less unsettling if he would be a bug. Its a metaphor either way though. On a side note I once read that that the sort of bug he is descripted as in the book would be able to fly (pic not related). Its kind of sad to imagine that he was able to escape the whole time but did not chose to do so or wasnt aware of it being a possibility. Also works pretty well as a metaphor I think. Since the only contact he has is his family and his work and he gets his self worth from providing for his family he doesnt acknowledge just running away and having a fresh start as an option even when his family leaves him to die.

I don't think a novel has ever given me quite the same level of feels.

>Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be too moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much.

Plus this cunt's writing is next level.

I'm absolutely laughing my ass off at the absurdity of this image. Anyone with even the faintest knowledge of history would know that the "corn" that Caesar speaks of in Commentaries On The Gallic War is not the corn that we in the west are familiar with, but is rather a poor translation for the word "grain" which in Latin is "Frumentum"

Myself and many others who have read the commentaries would know what you're trying to refer to with your image but it's wrong. Unless of course you were already aware of this and you are posting this ironically. In which case I commend you for your post but it's still blatantly wrong. I would have gone with a collage of images of wheat instead.

It's really not that confusing. The quote says that instead of a strict hierarchy of predator and prey in the food system, a more accurate representation would be an interconnected flat network. The prey relies on the predator just as the latter relies on the former.

I hate this fucking pasta, the corn he refers to is a metaphor you fucking retard. Julius Caesar was using the corn as an image of sociopolitical change against the backdrop of the procession of time, for the Gallic tribes, his army, and Roman society at large. An army marches on its stomach, just as a besieged city will waste its food stores away. The corn keeps growing, and the army keeps marching, and the walls keep coming down. The Gallic tribes would fight together and against each other as the seasons changed, just like political factions in Rome. Caesar was able to comment on this by using the universal truth of this important-for-war commodity as the idealized image of constancy in an ever changing world. Its a literary masterpiece.

This is actually a misconception. He was referring to old-world corn, which went extinct after a massive crop failure c. 200 CE. It was very similar in appearance to new-world corn.
