Can you yze my thesis on duty in The Metamorphosis and Frankenstein?

Concerning the idea of one's duty to various parts of their lives. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein demonstrates the problem with having too little desire to fulfill those duties. Frankenstein's avoidance of his responsibility to the creature he creates and the society it enters. Whereas in Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis, Gregor is shown to display perhaps a strained and weighted idea of what his duties to his family are. In the end, he arrives at the same fate as Frankenstein. They both become overwhelmed by their self-induced dutiful turmoil, whether they realize it directly or not.
