In the novella The Metamorphosis, by Franz Kafka, the main character Gregor undergoes a physical transformation from human to bug. Despite this change in appearance, he maintains his human brain as insect tendencies slowly take over his day to day behavior. He maintains his thoughtless state of mind, memories, and inner dialogue during his exterior transformation. Although he maintains his mental capacities, it is his change in appearance that causes his family to turn against him and eventually kill him. These events show how people can become dehumanized by society and the government only because of a difference in behavior or appearance.

Gregor’s transformation begins when he wakes up and is morphed into an insect, and watches his family’s lives progress without him able to support himself, let alone them.

In the novella, “The Metamorphosis” by Franz Kafka, the idea of change, in both a physical and metaphorical form, is explored. The protagonist, Gregor Samsa, wakes one morning to find himself transformed into a horrendous bug. The remainder of the novella shows how this change in form impacts both Samsa and his family, and how his transition into a bug was far from just a physical change. This change represents the internal conflicts that Samsa faces as he assumes the role that he has always felt himself to fill within society, as nothing more than a shame and inconvenience for his family. Upon Samsa’s death at the end of the novella, the reader views a glimpse of the elation and relief his family faces upon no longer being burdened by him. Naturally, the entire scenario represents the delusional fantasy that a disillusioned Samsa believes to be true. However, it is incredibly ironic as Samsa is both the economic foundation that his family requires, and also remains the most human character in the novella, even while he is a monstrous bug. Gregor’s bug form serves to represent these various internal conflicts he faces as manifested within a physical form.
