... In fact, the term Kafka-esque has been coined to describe Kafka’s unique style of writing, which we see very clearly in The Metamorphosis. The creative interplay of plausible fact and implausible fantasy throughout The Metamorphosis is the driving force behind his literary success. While there are many examples of this interplay throughout The Metamorphosis, our discussion will focus on three major events: Gregor’s trouble with general communication, the furniture incident, and finally the apple attack.
Kafka’s interplay appears very prominently in his description of the opening scene, on the morning of Gregor Samsa’s metamorphosis. ... Physically he is an insect, and will never be able to do any of the things that he was previously capable of doing, but mentally he is still the same Gregor Samsa who went to sleep a human being just a night before his metamorphosis.
Another excellent example of the interplay between fact and fantasy is in the furniture incident in the second chapter. ...
Finally, the furniture incident leads up to the third area of major interplay between fact and fantasy in The Metamorphosis, the apple incident. ... This question goes unanswered, but must be considered when looking at this interplay between fact and fantasy.
