I’m a slut for classic lit. Got into a fight with a girl because she said “every time a book publisher publishes Metamorphosis and puts a bug in the cover an angel loses its wings, it’s just like what they do with Lolita.” NOT TF ITS NOT
Gregor turns into A BUG. He goes THROUGH A METAMORPHSIS. “But it’s a metaphor-“ YES ITS A METAPHOR. WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH LOLITA?? NOTHING. NILCH. NADA. NO.
