Post şi alienare în Metamorfoza lui Kafka
Fasting and Alienation in Kafka’s The Metamorphosis

Summary/Abstract: The Metamorphosis bears the marks of an introvert psychology where the debts of the father and the refuge in work, considered a social stigma, are in fact most appropriate for a man incapable of interpersonal relationships. Forbidden by the authority of an excessive yet protective self, food has played, ever since ancient times, a prominent role in the cohesion of human groups and in establishing fundamental rules of social structure that Gregor chose to reject. The character has strong feelings about the world and the people around him and the writer appears to punish him for indulging in various forms of alienation.
