Just learned that I too have been a beetle all along
This book was a poignant reminder to approach the people in our lives with kindness and compassion. Experiencing Gregor’s perspective stirred a deep discomfort in me, as I have lived with a disabled family member my entire life. It saddened me to reflect on moments when I may have seen them as a burden. This story reinforced the importance of softening our hearts.

The last few pages made me emotional.
within just 3 chapters in a small book, you truly do sympathize with Gregor and his predicament - which in this absurdist novel is a clear commentary on capitalism and the trouble the working class experience and how you are of no value as before when you are unable to provide. You are, quite essentially, a roach. a burden.
it is not surprising how his writing still resonates with our generation.

I don’t understand how big he is. He can barely fit under the couch and can unlock doors but is small enough do scurry up the wall??
