Wall effects

Once the wallpaper had been applied over the paint in Gregors room we could then get on with tearing the wallpaper to reveal the paint effect underneath.
I personally thought that the tearing went a bit too far when considering the text we had to work with. But I think maybe over exaggerating the wall effect helps to create the mood. My thoughts on the walls in this room where that perhaps there should have been more of a narrative to them. In the text bug/Gregor crawled on the walls and ceiling leaving trails and had a patch where he liked to sit. I always imagined the walls to have dirt and areas where the wallpaper was still intact. Perhaps making more of a statement of the ceiling and a corner where he sat. Also on the floor under the couch where he stayed a long time.
