Kafka: The Metamorphosis

I find it interesting that Gregor is not that concerned with his new form, he is more concerned that he will not be able to get to work. Why does he not care that his form changed? why does he put in more effort in trying to get to work rather then finding a way to figure out why he changed/ how to fix it?

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass

I still don’t understand how humans can be so cruel to other humans, the actions of Mr. Severe and others just baffle me because humans today are not this vicious to each other. Today if someone were to inflict this much pain and torture onto someone he/she would be considered insane, what was the salve owners/enforcers motivation to do this and continue to do this? also why do they treat the horses with more care than other people?

post 2 (Monkey)

Do all of monkeys follow the king because they are mindless and have a “monkey see monkey do” complex? All they do is listen to the kings orders without ever questioning his reasoning or power, I feel like this represents monarchy’s in ancient times.
