“The Metamorphosis”
“The Metamorphosis” by Franz Kafka tells us about the protagonist Gregor Samsa, who wakes up transformed into a giant insect. Gregor loses his job and his family confines him to a room. The changes that isolate Gregor from the world ultimately lead to his death, which becomes a relief for his family, who are tired of him.
Symbolically, the story gradually pushes the protagonist out of the circle of people close to him, reflecting the ruthless process of rejection by a prosperous and indifferent society of “others” who struggle with their own misery.
