How might the opening lines you read from Ovid’s Metamorphoses relate to Kafka’s The Metamorphosis? While Ovid discusses how the gods are responsible for transformation (“bodies changing forms”), does Kafka explain Gregor’s transformation in similar terms? What force seems to be responsible for Gregor’s transformation into an insect?

i think the answer is b

ok if it wasn't the hans one it was probably c or he thought the mountain was collapsing on them.

the narrator is a first person, participant one, who describes in the simple past tense important and difficult events in his earlier life. he also provides temporal markers as the month (january) and the time (12: 30 pm). finally the account of his experience is very detailed, to the extent that a participant narrator would talk the same way about his experiences. a good example of such detail is the mention of the “bovril ration” which historically was a native american food adopted by european explorers in arctic and antarctic regions due to its high level of calories.
