No one even Gregor, found it strange for the huge transformation that occurred in his life. The family treated the fate of Gregor as a normal occurrence. Moreover, the author did not indicate whether Gregor ought to have undergone such difficult circumstances. In the contrary, Gregor has been portrayed as a responsible person throughout the story. The process through which Gregor changed into an insect is not only unnatural, but also implausible. In fact, the author did not specify the reasons, why the life of Gregor transformed nor did Gregor look for reasons why his life changed from the normal human being to that of a bug. The transformation of Gregor’s life from human to that of an insect symbolizes how life operates or at times exists in absurdity. The first lesson that can be learnt from the transformation of Gregor’s life is the absurdity that exists in everyday life. All these elements contributed to the emotional sufferings he went through besides much trouble he caused the family members. Gregor could no longer take his sister to the violin school as he planned (Kafka 36). Gregor could no longer support the family financially forcing his frail father to take up new job. In addition, his new life brought a lot of suffering to his family.
When he woke up, Gregor tried to stand upright and go to job, yet his physic could not allow him. Moreover, Gregor realized that he could no longer take up the daily duties even though his retained human mind directed him to do so.
In fact, metamorphosis resulted into Gregor’s emotional suffering besides his inability to interact with fellow human beings.
The whole story reflected the life of Gregor as composed and tolerant by not complaining about his life transformation (Kafka 28). Conversely, Gregor accepted his new form of life. In addition, Gregor neither worried about his itinerary life nor endeavored to change it by any means. In the same way, Gregor questioned neither why his physical appearance had transformed nor complained about his condition. Gregor took up the traveling sales representative job to support the family financially though he disliked the job. However, Gregor accepted his new life without questions. In fact, the physical transformation caused much trouble in the life of Gregor. The transformation was majorly physical and not on the mind. Despite this change in physical appearance, Gregor’s life did not undergo further significant changes throughout.
The major change in Gregor’s life was the transformation from the human life to that of an insect (Kafka 2).
