Metamorphasis Vs. Heart of Darkness
Unseemingly, Metamorphasis by Kafka and Heart of Darkness by Conrad relate. Heart of Darkness illustrates how dreams create a world in which anything is possible. Although not many see how this relates to Metamorphasis, I found a quote suggesting the contrary: "What if I slept a bit longer and forgot all this foolishness..." (Kafka 946). This quote represents how dreams allow individuals to escape from reality. Gregor, a bug in Metamorphasis, wants to forget everything that has recently happened to him and go back to how reality used to be. Ultimately, the usage of sleeping and dreaming conote that dreams are perfect worlds.
