Abstrakt

The article presents the allegorical novella “The Metamorphosis” of Franz Kafka from a biblical perspective. The main character, Gregor Samsa, is compared to Job and Jesus, the New Adam, and his father to God. The images emerging in the text reveal their hidden meaning, which in a surprising way shows the connection with the “Holy Scriptures”, both with the “Old” and “New Testaments”, which may be surprising in the case of a Jewish writer from the Vltava River. The author uses Kafka’s other writings, including “Letter to His Father”, to demonstrate the autobiographical sources. Gregor Samsa–Franz Kafka sacrifices himself to the Father’s glory. The whole interpretation is inscribed in the philosophy of the Danish thinker – Søren Kierkegaard.
