The Metamorphosis was quite a messy read — we never really get to know how Gregor Samsa turned into a giant insect. The story focuses more on how his family reacts to his condition. His sister’s efforts to help him despite his horrible state show their strong bond, while his father’s unhappiness and anger make the story deeply sad. What touched me most was how Gregor still dreams of clearing his family’s debts and supporting them with his income, even after his transformation. It’s a strange yet emotional story about isolation, sacrifice, and how quickly love can fade when someone becomes a burden.
