Milk & Apples

We started today's discussion of Gregor's unfortunate metamorphosis with his new-found hatred of milk, that feminine symbol of motherhood, and ended with those knowledge-filled apples striking his back and permeating his skin with all those pressures of his father's expectations and disappointment. For Monday's class, we will be finishing up Part III, and you will be leading the discussion with topics of your choosing - whether it be character-related, plot-related, motif-related, literary element-related, or regarding if Grete's metamorphosis is as significant as her brother's buggy one.
