Abstract EN

Franz Kafka is considered as one of the most accomplished existentialist and rdist novelist of the twentieth century.

His works represent a notorious challenge both to the ordinary reader as well as the specialized critics.

Unlike other literary artists, Kafka conceives his works in an uncertain and purposeless universe where illogic, chaos, paradox, guilt, and punishment go pathetically and tragically unexplained.

The aim of this research paper, however, is to examine Kafka's The Metamorphosis in the light of rd perspective.

With this perspective of rdity in mind, the study focuses on some artistic features of Kafka's novella as the title, setting, structure, theme, and characters including their actions and dialogues.
