The Metamorphosis is a short story written by Franz Kafka. The definition of an absurdist story is a story whose characters cannot find any meaning in life. The story may be humorous or irrational. The element of The Metamorphosis that makes it an absurdist story is the absence of a reason for Gregor's transformation into an insect (c). Gregor is transformed into an insect right at the beginning of the story. The rest of the story deals with the ways Gregor and his family battle to adjust to his transformation.

I'm pretty sure it's<em> </em>attitude. For example, in a satire, you feel irony. In an antiwar poem, you may feel protest or moral indignation. Tone can be playful, humorous, regretful, anything. I Hope this answers' it! :)

Reread lines 43 – 58. How has the narrator’s relationship with her husband changed? Support you answer with explicit textual evi
frutty [35]
I don't know which edition you're referring to. I suppose the lines 43-58 are actually the third paragraph. So, here's the answer:

The narrator's relationship with her husband has changed because of a supernatural influence that she can't exactly explain or fathom. She doesn't really know what happened, when, or why, but at night her husband was not the same person she married. "It’s the moon’s fault, and the blood. It was in his father’s blood," she reasons. Her husband is alienated because of this, and somehow she feels that they don't belong together anymore. He goes out to find those who are like him. "Something comes over the one that’s got the curse in his blood, they say, and he gets up because he can’t sleep, and goes out into the glaring sun, and goes off all alone — drawn to find those like him."

The words in this passage that show how bad the conditions are are "sad, bleak and terrible." This shows how awful life is if you are not white, and what a shame it is if that is the only life you'll ever know.</span>

In "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe, the quote “succumbed to the prostrating power of her destroyer” refers to Madeline's condition shortly after the narrator's arrival. It means that she could not resist against her illness any longer and has passed away.
