Write a reflection about it, that is at least one paragraph [10 - 13 sentences] long.
Your reflection should answer some, though not all, of the following questions:
- How does the imagery used in the story make you feel?
- What do you think the story tells you about the author?
- Have you ever been in a situation that feels like the one the messenger is in?
- What do you think the story says about life and society?
- Since the story has an open end, what would you add to it, if anything at all?

About the author:
Franz Kafka (IPA: [ˈfʀanʦ ˈkafka]) (3 July 1883 – 3 June 1924) was one of the major fiction writers of the 20th century. He was born to a middle-class German-speaking Jewish family in Prague, Austria-Hungary, presently the Czech Republic. His unique body of writing—much of which is incomplete and which was mainly published posthumously—is considered by some people to be among the most influential in Western literature.
His stories, such as The Metamorphosis (1915), and novels, including The Trial (1925) and The Castle (1926), concern troubled individuals in a nightmarishly impersonal and bureaucratic world.
