Existential Precepts The universe is indifferent No one cares !!! Individuals have complete freedom of choice Those choices have consequences Human existence cannot be explained Why am I here? = Who knows? Individual isolation is a fact of life Truth is determined by personal convictions (No Golden Rule, No Ten Commandments, etc.)

Questions that point toward the Existentialist Reading In the course of the story, what choices does Gregor make? What are the consequences of those choices? Beyond Gregor, which of the other characters is transformed in the course of the story? What defines the nature of the relationships in the family? As you finish reading, ponder the point of Gregor’s existence (think both positively and realistically here).

Themes/Symbols Recurrence of #3 Gregor’s room as a symbol… Consider the progressive changes Furnishings Cleaning “Closet” / storage room for discarded items The apartment as a symbol… Work as a symbol… Does the story have a moral? What else?
