Quote 1:
"I had the urge to eat that rotten pizza so I jumped off the ceiling" (Kafka 17).
Context: Gregor is a bug and has been upset. He started to crawl up the wall and felt good about it. When he was hungry, he smelled the food and leaped off the wall.
Existentialism: Gregor's decision to leap off the wall to get his food has nothing to do with society or any one else. It is simply his own decision to follow his needs and wants. This shows existentialism since Gregor is determining that he wants to be bug-like.
