I agreed with many of the points you made throughout your response such as the symbolic meaning behind Gregors meaningless life style and how out of all the animals he could have been transformed into a cockroach. As you wrote, the symbolic meaning behind becoming a cockroach represents how little society thinks of an insect. I also agree with the connection you make with the person in Plato’s Cave Allegory and how the person who saw truthful reality became an outsider. The way you ended your paragraph and point with “The world continued to spin around, and the society continued to live in the chains to see what they want to see and not what is really there” which provides an insightful look into the lives of these people who despite giving everything were ultimately destroyed by society. The choking or lack of breathing represents that the world continued to do despite the suicide of Georg which also brings the issue of depression and suicide into todays world.

I’m a bit confused as to why your discussing Kafka, as you were meant to discuss these smaller works in conjunction with Endgame.
