A Straightforward Wedding Speech by the Groom

I've put a bit of a speech together today, but after the previous speaker put us all to sleep I'll try to make mine a bit more interesting and entertaining. Sorry; only joking.

On behalf of my beautiful wife and I, we would like to thank you all for coming along, and sharing this very special day with us. And a huge thank you for the wonderful presents.

I would like everybody here, especially my wife, to know how lucky and proud I am to be standing here today speaking to you as her husband. She is beautiful, caring, intelligent. charming and (pause) ... What's that?... I can't read your writing darling!

  • Mr Samsa Existential Ideal: Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka

    1060 Words  | 3 Pages

    Franza Kafka was born on July 3, 1883 in Prague, Austria-Hungary (now known as the Czech Republic). He was a German speaking child in a Jewish society. From a very young age he suffered with many instances of isolationism, tragedy ran rampant in his home with the death of his two younger brothers during birth, and he had a profound relationship with his parents. Franza Kafka referred to his father as a “true Kafka” and his father’s relationship paved the way for many of his writings and ideals. He wrote his novella The Metamorphosis at the peak of the existential movement. Kafka and his father had a very stern relationship. The father was a successful business man while Kafka went from job to job and never found a stable and viable job. Kafka constantly was brought down and condescended by his father, which gave the support for many of his writings including The Metamorphosis. The relationship between Kafka and his father is almost exactly identical to the relationship between Gregor Samsa and his father. In almost all of Kafka’s literature the central character always has to overcome an overbearing and overwhelming...

  • Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka

    1035 Words  | 3 Pages

    Franz Kafka’s, The Metamorphosis, is a novella about Gregor Samsa, a man who devotes everything to fulfilling the needs of his family. Kafka’s existentialist perspective on the meaning of life is illustrated through the use of the protagonist of Gregor Samsa. Existentialism is a philosophy concerned with finding self and the meaning of life through free will, choice, and personal responsibility (Existentialism). Gregor is unable to fulfill the existentialist view of finding meaning in one’s life; he acted according to what his family wanted. Kafka’s belief that there is no meaning to life and that the individual has to create his own meaning in life is entirely missed by Gregor. Kafka uses the juxtaposing mindsets of Gregor and his family members to express the importance of an individual fulfilling his own needs.

    The website My PTSD (2013) explores the history of PTSD experienced by soldiers. While this illness was not known until 1980 as PTSD, the symptoms of the disease can be traced back to warriors in the battlefield 1000BC.

These names included: War Hysteria, Stress Response Syndrome, Vietnam Veterans Syndrome, DaCosta’s Syndrome, Shell Shock, War Neurosis, Combat Stress Reaction, Traumatic & Fright Neuroses, and many others. Much of the PTSD development was influenced by WWI and WWII veterans’ response to stress. The effects of the illness were identified by the fixation on traumatic events as well as functional limitations (My PTSD). While anybody experiencing a trauma can become a victim of PTSD,...

  • The Relationship Between Gregor and Samsa

    1659 Words  | 4 Pages

    Franz Kafka undoubtedly lived a life full of hardships and strife. Creative writing and literature were the only outlets he had to convey his true feelings. Franz Kafka once said that he wanted to find a place where his father could not reach, but such a place always existed. His father could not interfere with the love Kafka had for writing. . Whenever he would write he put some aspect of his life within that piece of work. The Metamorphosis is no exception. A very large amount of his life was used in this story and it is evident throughout. Paternal relationships were the same. Philosophical views were the same, and their inability to stand up for themselves was the same. On paper Gregor Samsa and Franz Kafka is the same individual. Gregor Samsa is the identical representation of Franz Kafka.
