I think it's a metaphor for becoming a burden. it doesn't mean literally a bug

Why is this book so popular among normies? Many people at my uni's reading club say it is a great book but I have never been interested in Kafka. >You will become le bug and you will be le happy Metamorphosis in a nutshell

sounds kafkaesque

In modern America better to blow your brains out if you want to leave anything behind

>>25496667 Kafka is basically Bernd if he lived in Austria-Hungary/Czechoslovakia. His stories are generally existentialist and miserable, about how things are shit and the world exists purely to fuck you over. That's more or less what it's about.

retarded teenagers really love this shit.

>>25496695 Fuck that emo edgy bohemian faggot. If I read I want to read something that makes me laugh, informs me or gives me hope. The Count of Montecristo is a bernd book because the protagonist is basically a bernd who even marries a loli. >>25496703 Literally this. Wheneve I tell normies I have read Don Quijote, they look at me bewildered because they think Don Quijote is a boring book, when its just a comedy book of a rich landlord becoming a literally knight weeb.

>>25496667 because this is what it's like taking care of an old, elderly person. At some point they just transform into a bug that watches TV all day, turning food into shit, never going outside except to see a doctor who informs them about their continued change into a bug. It is an enormous amount of work and people are thankful for the final release death offers

>>25496720 Perhaps my late grandma was a bug to my uncles and aunts. But now I feel that maybe the bug is the sight of seeing a love one in such a decrepit state you just want them to die just so they do not suffer anymore.

>>25496729 >maybe the bug is the sight of seeing a love one in such a decrepit state you just want them to die just so they do not suffer anymore. No, it's more like contempt. "I'm wasting all of my time and money for this decrepit piece of shit. How dare that weakling continue to live in my presence?" That is the nature everyone shows for the weak, the sickly, the mentally ill, and the elderly.

>>25496740 That is a very Protestant way to see the elderly, but all of you forsook salvation when you started worshipping jews. The way you see your elderly will be the same your loved ones will perceive you when you become an elderly yourself

these days the cockroach spends his days in his bedroom smoking weed, playing vidya, and posting on KC

>>25496748 Does it mean I am le bug? B A S E D

>>25496667 Because he's a jew being telling a fake story about nihilistic shit and it's only 50~ pages long.

>>25496729 my parents were the same way, in the end both got dementia and kept thinking I was a space alien. Since they didn't go to the doctor, and they couldn't walk (read: no way to force them to a doctor) for brain meds I gave them a kids play phone and they'd be up all night "calling" the police and having long interesting conversations with the "911 dispatcher" on the TV.

>>25496729 >But now I feel that maybe the bug is the sight of seeing a love one in such a decrepit state you just want them to die just so they do not suffer anymore. Or it is the pain of seeing a loved one turning in another being, a complete stranger to you. And you only care about that stranger because of the memories of the loved one. But you also hate the stranger because the stranger took away the loved one from you.

>>25496744 This has nothing to do with Protestantism, and save your preaching for someone who gives a shit, LARPer. I would do everything for my family, and I know they would do the same for me. This is just a universal response, because the average human - if he is not a literal saint - has nothing but revulsion for the weak, etc. Call it what you want, but it's the unfortunate reality.

>>25496667 its a metaphor for your parents taking care of your dysfunctional, autistic ass... except you never had any promise to become a functioning member of society so there was never any dramatic shock in your story.

It was written by a jew
