How might the issues gregor faces as an insect reflect franz kafka’s upbringing in prague as part of the jewish minority in a divided culture of czechs and germans?

Kafka knew both Czech and German but mainly spoke German. He lived in a time when Prague was dominated by a German-speaking populace, while the Czechs made up the working class. Since most of the power in Prague rested with German speakers, the Jews tended to identify with them. However, the German-speaking population didn’t consider the Jews to be a part of their group. Neither did the Czech speakers, who believed that the Jewish community was allied with the German speakers. Being a marginal member of an already marginalized community no doubt compounded the feelings of isolation and persecution Kafka seemed to feel as an individual. This sense of isolation may have also been magnified because he wasn’t a religious Jew. Those feelings, in turn, shaped his depiction of Gregor. The protagonist’s mysterious transformation into a bug dramatizes the feeling of living on the edge of various communities and not fully belonging to any of them.

1. this would be first person. it would be like "i walked home from school today" they are the narrator of the story and is a character as well.

2. first person because they used the word "i" in the quote.

3. i'm really not sure about this one i'm really sorry i never read it so i wouldn't know how to answer it. 

4. it would be character vs. society because everyone he meets there is always a conflict of some sort because he's stuck in his daydream.

5. it would be sadness at the loss of youth because the title itself tells us it's about age so it couldn't be about regret. and the tone just sounds sad, not angry. 

i hope this !
