This book got me feeling empathy for a bug?????

Gregor’s state seems to bother the people around him more than it does himself. He’s the definition of a people pleaser and instead of trusting in his own feelings about his circumstances he searches for approval in others.

It’s really sad how the people in Gregor’s life can’t see his good nature and intentions because of his outward form. They never give him credit. Definition of “don’t judge a book by its cover”
