The story centers around Gregor Samsa, a traveling salesman who wakes one morning to find himself transformed into a gigantic insect. This sudden and mysterious metamorphosis sets off a series of events that explore themes of alienation, guilt, and the struggles of family dynamics. At the start of the novella, we are introduced to Gregor Samsa as he grapples with the bizarre reality of his transformation. As he lies in bed, he finds it difficult to move and is overwhelmed by the weight of his new body. Despite his predicament, thoughts of his stressful job and concerns for his family dominate his mind. As he tries to get out of bed and prepare for work, the tension builds with the arrival of his family members, who are unaware of his condition. This opening sets the stage for a profound exploration of identity and the human condition, with Kafka’s signature blend of surrealism and psychological depth.
