Everyone is entitled to their own opinion on how they see the world and themselves. As the saying goes “the world is our oyster” and we can choose to live the life we ​​want regardless of how people see us. People may choose to see someone by their physical appearance or hidden emotional undercurrent, but it may be different from how we perceive ourselves. The world doesn't see what we see the same way. In Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis the protagonist Gregor Samsa, over the course of one night, suddenly transforms into a "monstrous parasite". Gregor is now physically separated from his family who can only perceive him as his insect-like structure, which results in the disintegration of his emotional turmoil and, ultimately, death. The exhibit of the Metamorphosis beings has a small room that is symmetrical in every way. Gregor wakes up to find himself transformed into a “monstrous parasite”(3) and, without any hesitation or question, proceeds with his daily routine and tries to adapt to his new form of life. Gregor does not want to "stay in bed being useless",(7), yet his current frame prevents him from doing anything human-like. It is Gregor's nature to take on a responsible role in the home, regardless of the circumstances he faces.

Gregor doesn't just feel alone and isolated because of his job, but also because of his... middle of paper... transformation. Gregor's final sacrifice causes a burden to be lifted from the family, creating a new bond within the family and harmony is restored. Gregor, although rejected by his family, perceives his family with sincerity and love, while his family ultimately perceives Gregor as an object holding the family down. All of the Samsa family perceived Gregor differently both physically and emotionally at the beginning of the novel, but as Gregor's physical form began to overwhelm his emotional aspect, they begin to perceive Gregor as a burden, limiting his family. Unlike the Samsa family, Gregor's sense of himself is always solid, like a human being trapped in the carcass of a "monstrous parasite." Gregor's inability to communicate with humans has caused his emotional turmoil to descend to the point where he accepts his fate of death, as his transformation..
