The central protagonist Gregor Samsa adopts asceticism as a personal code in Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis. To cope with the harsh reality of transforming into a vile, detestable insect, Gregor chooses to ignore his appalling bug-like body, and channels his attention and energy altruistically, aiming to promote the benefit of his family to the highest level. By abiding by the code of asceticism, Gregor is able to ignore his astounding transmutation and sanely live his life as normal, thus allowing him to retain his dignity as a son and brother to the Samsa family. Ultimately, despite his deformation, Gregor displays signs of altruism by acting out of interest for his family. This literary analysis intends to identify the underlying asceticism and altruism of Gregor Samsa’s persona.

The quote, "She had a well earned reputation as an accurate interpreter of other people's dream, provided they were told to her before eating, but she hadn't notice any ominous augury in those two dream of her son's" conveys that Santiago's character also represents the element of magical realism in the novel. The statement, " Nor did Santiago Nasar recognize the omen" not only reveals his superstition, but also the common faith put in superstition.

She makes attempts to defend herself in the accusations that were made against her from Iago, Othello’s ensign.

Steinbeck achieves these two feats by creating a protagonist who earns the reader’s sympathy because of his utter helplessness in the face of the events that unfold. Lennie is totally defenseless. He cannot avoid the dangers presented by Curley, Curley’s wife, or the world at large. His innocence raises him to a standard of pure goodness that is more poetic and literary than realistic. His enthusiasm for the vision of their future farm
