Question

In the metamorphosis which element best mirrors the author's own feelings of inadequacy?

a. Geogor’s financial support of his familyB. Gregor’s transformation into a bugC. Gregor’s relationship with his sisterD. Gregor’s attempts to calm his boss

Answer 1

I believe the answer is B. Gregor's transformation into a bug.

Answer 2

B. Gregor’s transformation into a bug.

Step-by-step explanation:

In The Metamorphosis, Gregor is transformed into a bug. However, the bug serves a symbolic purpose in the text. A bug is usually considered to be an insignificant, unappealing animal. This is a reflection of the author's own opinion of himself. Just like Gregor, Samsa often felt inadequate, insignificant and rejected by his own family, particularly his father.
