Gregor Samsa, a hardworking but overburdened salesman, wakes up one morning to discover he has transformed into a giant insect. Trapped inside his own body, he struggles to adjust while his once-dependent family grows increasingly distant and resentful.

As Gregor's humanity fades, he becomes a burden to his parents and sister, Grete, who initially cares for him but soon regards him with disgust. Isolated, misunderstood, and confined to his room, Gregor's existence deteriorates until his tragic and quiet demise.

Kafka's masterpiece is a haunting meditation on alienation, identity, and the crushing weight of societal expectations. With its surreal premise and deep existential themes, Metamorphosis remains one of the most profound and unsettling works of modern literature.
