metamorphosis is easy to read which is nice, but its a little depressing when you think about the fact that kafka was writing about himself. the inferno was almost funny with a lot of witty details, so im going to have to say i liked the inferno better

I agree with Alex. Although Metamorphosis is waaaay easier to read, Dante's Inferno was way cooler and funnier. it really would suck to be turned into a bug over night and not be able to talk to your family or ever live like a human again.

i think the inferno was better bc it just gives you a, in a scence, realistic picture of what hell could be like and and makes you think about who you are and what you have to do to not end up in hell... Metamorphasis is just a fictional story about a guy who turns into a bug, which is cool, but it just seems like people becoming certain creatures happens in a lot of stories and imaginations

i liked the metamorphosis better than the inferno. although i did enjoy reading the inferno, the metamorphosis had more valuable lessons in it. i think it's kind of like what ms. deckard said about the titanic. everyone loves a good sad story

I liked metamorphasis because it was so weird and original. Dante's Inferno was more exciting in a lot of ways though.
