The Metamorphosis is a short story written by Franz Kafka in 1912. The main character, Gregor, who experiences metamorphosis, is victimized for the rest of his life as an insect. Even though it wasn't his fault that he became a parasite initially, he deals with the situation as best he can; however, his family did not. As Gregor becomes more and more isolated from his family, the better it is for him. He psychologically distances himself from others, hides under the sofa, and hopes to somehow reverse the metamorphosis and return to his old self. But as time passes, Gregor stops fighting his inner battle and accepts the fact that he is no longer part of the human race, which pushes him to remember. Then, finally, he realizes that the more he worked for the family, the less he was loved; he did not spend quality time with them, but was always expected to bring home money and work harder and harder, beyond his limits, which he mentions at the beginning of the story: “Other street vendors live like harem women. For example, when I return to the inn during the morning to fill out the necessary orders, these gentlemen are just sitting down to breakfast. If I tried to do something like that with my boss, I would get thrown out on the spot” (3). Through his transformation into a hideous creature, i.e. a veminous insect, Gregor becomes more similar to the rest of his surroundings and his metamorphosis depicts the failure of humanity as he becomes, in many ways, more human than the rest of his family, while at the same time, transforming his lifestyle into that of a parasite. “One morning, as Gregor Samsa awoke from anxious dreams, he discovered that he had transformed into a gigantic insect in his bed” (1). The opening… middle of the card… mostly, unappreciated. Maybe not even loved. Although he hoped for a better future once he paid off his parents' debts, to finally do something for himself and finally make a name for himself, the metamorphosis he experienced was a blessing in disguise. Despite being tortured and hurt in so many different ways, Gregor finally has the opportunity to see the way he was treated from another perspective and learned that not everything is as good as it might seem. He would probably pay off the debt, but he would still have to continue to take care of his family financially, never achieving his goal or the wish that the woman with the fur boa represented to him. And although Gregor physically did not resemble a human being at the end of his short life, he still showed more humanity, care and dignity than society did towards him..
