Gregor samsa as an existential hero of Franz Kafka
Authors

Abstract
In the whole life, everyone wants to confirm his presence to secure his privileged corner in the society. People with similar orthodoxically customs, traditions, culture, norms, rites, conservative thinking, etc. are known as a society. However, society is “comprised of social facts and collective representations” (Os well, 16). It can be called as a foster-mother of religion because without religion, it is almost impossible for a society to take a single breath and consequently with religion human existence cannot be imagined. In fact, religion is a conceptual but concrete fear to govern a pack of people in the name of god or supernatural power. In religion, god is an invisible and omnipresent shadow of inner-phobia. In the light of religion, a society provides questionable and limited-limitations to its members. Everyone is socially constructed in a way by which even to think about the violation of prescribe limitations are considered as sins. Therefore, a societal creature cannot digest any challenge against the prevailing dogmas. On the other hand, an existentialist cannot live in such environment where his freedom and existence are interpreted. Therefore, he wants to break the chain of limited-freedom and live his life according to his own terms and conditions. Such existential heroes put the question mark on the societal structure.
