About the Story
Gregor Samsa wakes one morning to find that he has become an insect, a change that immediately alters his place within his family. As communication fails and isolation grows, the ordinary routines of home become increasingly unsettling.
Franz Kafka's short novel is a modern classic of alienation and dark absurdity. The Metamorphosis uses an impossible event to ask how identity, work, and family obligation shape a human life.
