This story was funnier, and shorter, than I realized it would be. I love that no one in the family ever questions WHY this happened, just laments that it did and goes about the business of trying to ignore it. I feel for Gregor, this removed any doubt I had in my mind that I absolutely do not want to wake up as a bug one day.

“He thought back on his family with deep emotion and love. His conviction that he would have to disappear was, if possible, even firmer than his sister's. He remained in this state of empty and peaceful reflection until the tower clock struck three in the morning. He still saw that outside the window everything was beginning to grow light. Then, without his consent, his head sank down to the floor, and from his nostrils streamed his last weak breath.”

gregor didn’t even think about how absurd his situation was while he was dying, he just cared about his family. after gregor’s death, his family was happy to be rid of the burden he was causing them and moved out of the apartment gregor paid for them…

gregor is also literally me in any social situation!! this book shows how society can dehumanize people when they don’t meet society’s expectations for them.

overall this book was so amazing i loved it, but it was so complex i can’t talk about every single theme in this book.
