how does kafka develop the theme of reality vs. illusion in this story, incorporating the surreal/impossible in the structure of the narrative, cite evidence in your answer

Hello. You forgot to say that this question refers to "Metamorphosis".

Kafka manages to develop the theme vs. reality. illusion creating a parallel reality, where a surreal situation is based on a social criticism present in the real world.

Explanation:

In "Metamorphosis" Kafka uses an alternative reality, where a man turns into a giant insect, to portray criticisms of a capalist society that dehumanizes individuals and exploits them in the name of profit and productivity. In this work, the giant insect represents the disgust and abandonment of the closest beings when, when an individual becomes a dependent and a person who does not produce and does not promote the comfort of the community.

In this work, Kafka uses surreal events, an alternative society, valuing the unconscious, madness and fantasy to point out real problems in the society in which we live.
