wait what the fuck. i was looking into something unrelated and just noticed that gregor has fucking librarian symbols on his arm in his base EGO. what the fuck? the wiki just chalks it up to his jewishness but like that cannot be it.
reminded of that thing hermann says to gregor at the end of canto I. You should at least finish unwrapping what I gave you.
ok no but seriously why are those there? what does it mean what is it supposed to represent?? also while im on the topic i find it fascinating that the EGO depicts him with a distinctly humanoid and fleshy arm as opposed to an insectoid one, and its even more of a body horror thing.
