Kumaş pazarlamacısı olan Gregor Samsa’nın uykusundan kocaman bir böceğe dönüşerek uyanmasıyla başlayan Dönüşüm, giderek gerçeklikle kurmacanın sınırlarını zorlayan müthiş bir anlatıma dönüşür.įRANZ KAFKA (1883-1924) Çek asıllı Yahudi bir ailenin çocuğu olan Franz Kafka 1883’te Prag’da doğmuş ve büyümüştür.

This work, which has been done, aims to present a different perspective to the The Metamorphosis (1915) novel from previous works. The contradictions leading to social exclusion between society and the individual have been tried to be revealed by analyzing the discourse of heroes of the novel. The story of Gregor Samsa, the hero of the novel, is a story of social exclusion, in which Gregor Samsa was treated as a social exclusionary individual and his family as a micro-scale society. Thus, in this study Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis (1915) novel was examined within the context of the concept of social exclusion. Literary works’s ability to present details the relations and contradictions between the individual and the society makes it possible to establish a coperation beetween literature and social sciences. Social exclusion is a concept that became known after 1970’s and is defined as the situation in which an individual can not integrate with the society due to various reasons and is excluded from social life. Social exclusion is also described as a phenomenon that arises from contradictions between the individual and the society. In this context, relations and contradictions arise between the individual and society.

Individuals comes together to form society and lives within this social structure in which they have formed their lives.

There is a strong relationship between the individual and society.
