The essay points to an overlap between Metamorphosis and Kafka’s early unfinished story “Wedding Preparations in the Country”; it highlights the theme of the incomplete metamorphosis as underlying the protagonists’ predicament. The theme of the incomplete transformation is then traced in a number of Kafka’s short stories, revealing its importance in Kafka’s world-view.
