World Lit. Ideas

Comparison between novels

Compare the self-imposed isolation of both Gregor and the protagonist of Hunger in the novels Metamorphosis and Hunger.

Look at the use of a few sub-characters that are used to highlight the protagonists in any two novels: The Stranger,Hunger, and/or Metamorphosis. (note: any specific type of characters?)

In Hunger and The Stranger, compare/contrast the use of absurdity among the protagonists and how they are judged for that.

Compare the family in Metamorphosis and those in Hunger.

Individual novel

Examine/analyze the use of light and dark in The Stranger.

In Metamorphosis, look at how Gregor fits in the idea of existentialism and how he goes through a "realization" . (note: broad start)

In any of the novels, Hunger, The Stranger, or Metamorphosis, look at the relationships within the novel and what the author could be trying to say: eg. No one has a "normal one" thus showing the absurdity/fake-ness of the world- or something like that.
