TODAY IN CLASS
What produces humor? What is the source of comedy? We kicked this around for awhile and then pulled elements from the first part of Metamorphosis to account for why at least some readers really do see some humor in Kafka's description of Gregor's situation.
In 1st, we looked closely at the details of Gregor's room, and less so in 3rd; alas, we didn't make it to that point in 6th.
FOR TOMORROW
Assignment is just to read: finish the story (Parts II and III). In no way will this quick read be sufficient; you're advised to re-read each part over the next few days. So why finish it for Friday? Because we need to have an eye on WHERE Kafka is headed with this story to appreciated the value of how he gets us there.
