Unlike most novel, why didn’t Woolf divide her novel into chapters?

Why did Prufrock brought his love interest (if she is one at all) through a “certain half-deserted streets”, “one-night cheap hotels”, and to a “sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells”? If I were on a date with Prufrock, I would be offended!

Gregory Samsa mentioned the fact that he is constantly working and putting up with his boss because he needs to money to pay off the loan which his parents has incurred. Even though Gregory and his family is burdened with the fact that they have to pay off their loan, they still have the luxury to hire a maid or a cook or a housekeeper?

When Gregory Samsa found out that he has transformed into an enormous buy, he is unusually calm about it. Why is that?

Why do people often associates something that’s good or benevolent with God or Jesus Christ and disassociates/ questions those that are wicked or immoral?

In the poem, Ode on a Grecian Urn, John Keats exclaimed that “Beauty is truth, truth is beauty.” Keats reasoning behind this thinking is because when his generations is long gone, the urn will remain, revealing the truth of the past.

How can Keats be so sure that “beauty is truth, truth is beauty”? Rather, wouldn’t the beauty , itself, mystify the truth?

In “The Journey to the West”, Sun Wu Kong was motivated to seek immortality due to his fear of death. If Sun Wu Kong didn’t lead such an insouciant life, but rather, he lead a life full of struggle, would his desire to seek immortality still be evident?
