". But in the other hand, Gregor was satisfied with his work as he knew that that was the right thing to do. Even though, he suffered from a lot of pressure from his parents, just as Kafka felt from his father as he later describes in the letter he wrote to him.
In many aspects, Kafka might be thought to have a limited life; he was a lonely, isolated and neurasthenic person and he lived with is parents most part of his life. Gregor is just the same as he is in his early 20s and he is still living with his parents and there is not much going on in his life. He does nothing except for work and he is too concerned about it: ".Before it strikes a quarter past seven, I must be completely out of bed without fail. Anyway, by that time someone from the firm will be here to find out where I am, since the office opens before seven.". Even though Gregor was never late to work or had never been sick, he hated his job and just as Kafka, he was a frustrated person. An example of Kafka's frustration may be that he became engaged twice and he broke these engagements with the same girl.
Gregor Samsa had a passive-aggresive relationship with his parents because although he was patient with them and was helping them financially, he was so tired of doing it and he could.
not wait to finish paying his parents" debts so that he could at last take a long break. Even though .
he was feeling this way, he never said anything and even made his parents believe that he enjoyed what he did. Kafka was the same but the difference is that he did speak up and told his father everything that was bothering him even though he did so many years later. He wrote a really long letter to his father which was later published as a book. This book talks about Kafka's traumas when he was a child and how all of them -which were mainly caused by his father- were reflected in his adult life. After analyzing all of what Kafka says in that letter, we can see many similarities with his life and Gregor's.
