today I will be exploring how death is presented in metamorphosis from Franz Kafka version in the novella and comparing it with  Chris Swantons version from the film in a way of comparison I will describe how Gregor the creature which dies is represented and how an icon Franz Kafka describes this and now in English literature and how Franz Kafkas life persuid how metamorphose show cruelty and abusisty to show how life is he wanted to destroy this piece of beautiful literature which show how special it was to us and how he descried himself as an unlawful ugly being to humanity this explored how metamorphosis is shown throughout it and how death is described.

In both the film and the novella Gregors death is presented as a relief . In Kafkas version we can see this when Kafka States, ” the rotten apple in his back and the inflamed surrounding area , entirely covered with white dust , he hardly noticed”this quotation shows that the pain gregors feeling is a burning sensation. He uses imagery to show the extent of gregors injuries. However the phrase “he hardly noticed ” shows that he had become used to the pain and that death came as a relief . Kafka places this clause at the end of the sentence because it is the least of his worries and his family is more important this shows how his brain is consulted whereas in swantons film version death is presented as pain extinguishing through imagery one of the imagery shows that gregors is taking his last weak breath and there is kind of a frame which shows how gregor dustball is moving slowly and then stops for a second. this peice of imagery shows how is death is presented in such a the dustmite show the peice of imagery is powerful and it show how the dustmite is the last thing of gregors death. as well as in this powerful image it shows light . the light represent how his religion  Christianity is shown in this way because in bible there are words which show how light is represented as a passage from god and in the text it shows how death is repesented as relief that god is with him all the way.

one of the way we can see how death is presented in Chris Swantons version is that once Gregors gos through  the door the sister say “finally” the word “finally” shows how his family show emotion towards him and how his sister is presented toward him and how she takes gasps from how her anger is toward him this shows how her hard work is making her angry instead of caring about gregor  and what had made him this creature and how his sister’s acting toward him would show how his family react but in the same scene the father protects him in the film version acting as a guard and trying to tell gregor to listen to him and gregors sister act as the man in the family acting as if she hates how Gregor is and that she blames him for everything such as the dirt the smell and the jobs they now have to do just to live. The difference is that in the novella gregor is isolated from his parents as the only person who shows any emotional connect towards him is his sister.she often brings him food and clears up his room but still cant bare the sight if him,this hurts gregor more than anything as he wants to be nothing but accepted. this is a sign which show how gregors is described throughout the movie and how he still insisted to do to be accepted. one of the sentenve his sister says ‘if it was Gregor he would have known by now that we cant live with this horrible creature and would have gone away’ this text shows how she describes her relation to him to be un-human and that they will never be together no matter what but in this moment and time we could see that in the film version Gregor is shown to be a manipulative evil creature which would attack the feeling but we as the audience realise what Gregor is going throughout the film.the word ‘ it’ and ‘ creature’ shows how Gregor is different to them because they both describe him as unhuman but he has human intelligence within himself and it shows how he is different to his family in such a powerful way and he should be treated like a human that a creature should not be treated like this without any manner.

another way to realise that gregors death is a relief because in the film his family act if it was a relief as he died in that morning the father the mother and the daughter did the Christ sign and this would show the heart felt relief and now that his death has prevailed to his family they would need this as a relief because his family can carry out the work instead of worrying for a bug which may or so be Gregor of his  appearance and how they’re appearing as peaceful which would show his death as being the last ultimatum to his family and the last one in the novella his family need not to worry but kick out the gentlemen staying in the house as they get money they now need no extra money now as the creature has gone.in the film. the way it connect to the film the novella because in both they show how both they suit together how gregors  death is described as a relief.

in conclusion to this the difference of Gregors death between them is that they both connect in a way of gregors death
