Or explore the Faustian anti-hero

Comparing him to Macbeth...

T.S. Eliot and "The Sacred Wood"

Check out Eliot's seminal work on "effective" poetry and poesy...what do you think? Warning: Eliot is a hard-hitting writer who expects his reader to be on par with him. And you can do it!

Plato's "Allegory of The Cave"

Examine to consider Plato's infamous underground den. There are all sorts of lovely diagrams posted across the Internet that you might also peruse. Absorb his point.

Then, apply Plato's allegory to Gregor. You may find that you have to "bend and twist" parts of the story to draw parallels. This is O.K. It's critical thinking in its highest "form".
