The Metamorphosis
Storyboard Text
- “What’s happened to me?”
- “How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense”paragraph 3
- "One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armor-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections."paragraph 1
- “Oh, God”
- "It wasn’t a dream. His room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar walls."Paragraph 2
- “Getting up early all the time”, he thought, “it makes you stupid.
- He must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he wouldn’t have to look at the floundering legs, and only stopped when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt before".paragraph3
- "And he looked over at the alarm clock, ticking on the chest of drawers. “God in Heaven!” he thought."paragraph 6
- Gregor says “what a strenuous career it is that I’ve chosen! Travelling day in and day out. Doing business like this takes much more effort than doing your own business at home, and on top of that there’s the curse of travelling, worries about making train connections, bad and irregular food, contact with different people all the time so that you can never get to know anyone or become friendly with them. It can all go to Hell!”
- "You’ve got to get enough sleep. Other traveling salesmen live a life of luxury. For instance, whenever I go back to the guest house during the morning to copy out the contract, these gentlemen are always still sitting there eating their breakfasts. I ought to just try that with my boss; I’d get kicked out on the spot." paragraph 5
- It was half past six and the hands were quietly moving forwards, it was even later than half past, more like quarter to seven. Had the alarm clock not rung? He could see from the bed that it had been set for four o’clock as it should have been; it certainly must have rung. Yes, but was it possible to quietly sleep through that furniture-rattling noise?
