A deeply existential and allegorical book Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka was the subject of the 2nd Chance School, Trikala Penitentiary Reading Club meeting held on Friday 23 April.
The writing and style of the classical writer fascinated the members who rendered Kafka’s ironic and allegorical mood in various ways. The issues raised by the author in the work, such as oppression, alienation from all that is beloved and familiar, troubled family relationships and rejection, gave multiple stimuli for discussion. The members tried to interpret the author’s psychosynthesis, they referred to the time when the work was written, while they transferred it to today, referring to the “transformation” that takes place in each of us separately from the routine, interpersonal relationships and the circumstances.
We thank the members for their participation and the beautiful discussion and we wish everyone a Happy Easter and a Happy Resurrection.
