And what is the meaning and the motivation behind Nabokov's intervention into the classic Kafka short story? This paper reviews Kafka's iconic short story and delves into the way in which Nabokov has editorially changed the direction and meaning of the narrative. The Kafka story is considered among the most read and most discussed short stories in all literature. Why is it so well-thought-of? For one thing, it is dramatically different from ninety-nine percent of all short stories. For another, there is meaning within the bizarre events. Of course it is a ridiculous idea to change a man into a massive roach, and the beginning of Kafka's story has to be approached with an open mind for the reader. But the symbolism and the character changes are so stark they stay in the reader's mind long after reading about Gregor Samsa and his strange family. Samsa wakes up and "…finds himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect," that surely opens the eyes and challenges the mind of the reader.
