hammer [7621]

Hello. You forgot to mention that this question relates to "Metamorphosis".

Answer:

Kafka explores the tension between reality and illusion, constructing a parallel world where an absurd scenario reflects critical social commentary evident in the actual world.

Explanation:

In "Metamorphosis," Kafka presents an alternate reality where a man transforms into a massive insect, using this surreal change to critique a capitalistic society that dehumanizes and exploits individuals for profit. The giant insect symbolizes the revulsion and neglect faced by those who become dependent and fail to contribute to societal comfort.

Through the use of surreal occurrences, an alternative society, and an emphasis on the subconscious, madness, and fantasy, Kafka highlights genuine issues present in our society.

Answer:

He aims to remain unseen. There is likely something he is trying to escape. The sentences worth circling include the second one, which describes him hunching down in his seat and pulling his cap as far down over his face as possible.

The next sentence following 7 Eleven should also be included - "I'm way down in the seat..."

Someone will be sitting next to him, which means he won't have the luxury of two seats to himself, limiting his ability to conceal himself further.
