Default Kafka's writing style

Today I read Kafka's the Metamorphosis. It is really an amazing book. I could gather very little at my first reading. At a second reading I got something different. First I understood the story and I could not comprehend the figurative meaning underlying there. As a matter of fact there were some intrinsic meanings and they were different from the seeming meaning one can find on reading cursorily.

In fact Kafka's story, there is something that in essence is more relevant in today's world more than in his life time. Today, he is more remembered. In that book Kafka created a character who has lots of semblance to the kind of life a businessman or an employee under a very tough businessman has to live, hemmed in fact many terrible circumstances. In every step he comes to a situation that is insurmountably challenging.

Man is likened to a vermilion and he is hooked to a situation. He is too much conspicuousness, and here the vagaries of life is presented amazingly. Of course the very consciousness has proved to him a curse. Being overly aware of the circumstance he was in he is compelled to torment him more and more.

Kafka is matchless in that he could unfold to his reader something uncommon, or something no other writers could do in the measure and intensity he did. There is precipitations and in his wrting and he was a man of perfection and this is substantiated by many facts in his novel.

I want people to share their ideas about Kafka's writings.
