Metamorphosis written by Franz Kafka and first published in 1915. It tells the story of Gregor Samsa, a traveling salesman who wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into a giant insect. Despite his shocking condition, Gregor initially worries more about missing work and supporting his family. As the story progresses, Gregor becomes increasingly isolated and neglected by his family, who are repulsed by his appearance and burdened by his inability to contribute. His physical transformation becomes a symbol of alienation, loss of identity, and the dehumanizing effects of modern life. Kafka's Metamorphosis explores themes such as isolation, guilt, familial obligation, and the absurdity of existence. The story is known for its surreal and existential tone, making it a classic of 20th-century literature.
