Question #1, page 1014

I think that Kuper's illustrations are both humorous and frightening. They are so overly exaggerated that they completely aid in understanding the humor and almost unreal aspect of the situation, yet they also manage to capture each person's reaction very accurately. This definitely confirms my interpretation of The Metamorphosis and I think that anyone who is reading it should also take a glance at the illustrations for visual help. I think that Kuper chose to illustrate this all in black and white rather than in color to capture the nitty-gritty feel of the whole story as well as set the reader in an older time frame.
