Comparison Of Family Themes In Like Water For Chocolate And In The Metamorphosis Explore the Presentation of the Family in “Like Water for Chocolate” and “The Metamorphosis” Considering How the Writer Uses Them to Convey Significant Ideas. In this essay, I will explore and discuss the role of family in ‘Like Water for Chocolate’ and ‘The Metamorphosis’ because I think that both the novel and novella obtain sensational ideas and morals about the family that are portrayed through the way the writers present them. The novella ‘The Metamorphosis’ introduces young Gregor Samsa as the son whom the rest of the family absolutely depends on. He is more the provider of the family rather than the heart of the family because his family is his main responsibility in life as he is obliged to financially carry them on his back. The novel, ‘Like Water for Chocolate’ poses Tita as the main character and a victim of her mother’s cruel intentions. Tita’s life is condemned to the old Mexican family tradition that requires the youngest daughter forbidden to marry and obliged to take care of her mother for the rest of her life. Both stories somewhat revolve around the harsh and disheartening elements of family relationships and traditions.
