There are certainly a lot of psychological and literary analysis behind Kafka's The Metamorphosis and it's definitely obvious why it's his magnum opus.
There's a lot of symbolism to perhaps emotional or psychological imprisonment of oneself from stress or losing yourself in the crowdiness of life, written as transformation of Gregor Samsa into a cockroach and his inability to return to his former self, and also to the finality of life and suffering and the freedom following it for both the person suffering and the closest people caring or perhaps afflicted with their misfortune.
It's just so boring till you get to the end though, so it's worth it to read it until the last page!
