Metamorphosis is a short story by Franz Kafka. Kafka is from Germany and uses a lot of twists in his writing. This was my third time reading this story after rereading it for this class. I read this story in my German class my senior year. I had to read it essentially in German. In the original language I noticed that there was a little more detail shown in the story than when it was translated into English. I did understand it more in English though.
This story, though weird, has a good meaning behind it. Basically, the meaning is you should not take things for granted. His parents took Gregor for granted and when he was turned into a bug his parents could not handle it and ended up resenting him for it.
