Gregor In Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis

A traveling salesman who hates his job but is forced to keep it in order to support his family and pay off his father's debts. Gregor suddenly finds himself transformed into a giant insect. Never coming to terms with his metamorphosis, he struggles with intense feelings of guilt as if his inability to support his family were his own fault. Though freed from his job, Gregor was now a burden to his family and they left him locked in his room to rot.
Before Gregor so arbitrary changed into an entirely different specie, he had an average life. He lived with his mom, dad, and sister. He had a job, and a good paying one too. He was very smart as well as hard headed. Until one morning all of that changed when he oddly woke up and he realized he was a giant insect. He was the same size person he was before but now in bug form, huge, and hideous. Even too hideous for his parents. “He lay on his armor-hard back and saw, as he lifted his head up a little, his brown, arched abdomen divided up into rigid bow-like sections.. His numerous legs, pitifully thin in comparison to the rest of his circumference, flickered helplessly
Alright, people did not understand his words any more, although they seemed clear enough to him, clearer than previously, perhaps because had gotten used to them” (Kafka 147). Gregor slowly becomes an outsider through the story, ignored by everyone and left out. Gregor becomes consumed by boredom, sadness, and eventually hunger which takes his life away. “He thought back on his family with deep emotion and love. His conviction that he would have to disappear was, if possible, even firmer than his sister's. He remained in this state of empty and peaceful reflection until the tower clock struck three in the morning. He still saw that outside the window everything was beginning to grow light. Then, without his consent, his head sank down to the floor, and from his nostrils streamed his last weak breath.” (Kafka
