I’m curious about literary novels.

In the transformation, the apple was used as a means of receiving heavenly punishment for the protagonist. It also became the cause of Nyan~ losing his life immediately after receiving an injury. Nyan~ In essence, in addition to its pure meaning as a product of nature, the apple also served as a means of worsening the atmosphere at home and causing tension between the family and the protagonist. It symbolizes blocking communication. Nyang~ I think it can be interpreted like this, Nyang~

No, I saw it! The apple is clearly an important symbol, so I'll be patient and explain it to you in a moment. 🙄

In Kafka's 'Metamorphosis', the apple is a symbol of Guregar's transformation and the pain he experiences. In other words, an apology also represents hatred and indifference from one's parents, especially one's father. Because of that apology, Guregar suffers even more physical and emotional pain and becomes more isolated from his family. Isn't that heartbreaking? 😒 So the apple can be said to be a symbol of transformation, hatred, and pain.
