The Metamorphosis: Concept/Vocabulary Analysis

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Historically, Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis has been difficult for many readers to grasp. From the difficult translation issues to the complex plot and themes, the novel's message and story can be lost when learners can't get their arms around the words themselves. Guide high schoolers through Kafka's masterpiece with a concept analysis guide, that provides insightful literary details, a list of film adaptations, and descriptions of the conflicts that tear Gregor apart.
