Change is inevitable and unavoidable in every moment of our lives. Every second of our lives, changes appear and disappear, impacting our lives. Humans perceive change differently and this reveals the true nature of our hearts. It is the discord of change between humans that determines the differences in our individual perceptions. In the novel “Metamorphosis” by Franz Kafka, the word change is taken to a completely absurd degree as the main protagonist, Gregor Samsa, is illogically transformed into an insect. Although Gregor's thoughts still show traces of his human self, Gregor's family is unable to cope with his hideous form and isolates him from his world. Once seen as the breadwinner, Gregor is now seen as a burden to the family. Distorted by his family's behavior, Gregor questions his existence and his perception of himself begins to resemble that of his family, seeing himself as useless vermin. Ultimately, Gregor lets his perception of a human be influenced by that of his family, which determines. The novel begins immediately with Gregor, the traveling salesman, waking up in his bed to find himself transformed into a “monstrous vermin” (Kafka). Gregor is the financial breadwinner of the family due to the failure of his father's business. He is seen as the most important man in his family because he “[earns] enough money to meet the expenses of the entire family” (26). Although he didn't like his job as a salesman, he accepted his new role as breadwinner in the family without hesitation. Likewise, as he wakes up to see himself in his new body, he quickly accepts that he has become an insect and tries to live his life as best he can in his new middle of paper... .. .we are losing hope about Gregor's existence as a human. As the furniture is removed by his mother and Grete, he clings to a photo so they can't take it away. Despite her efforts to protect her human feelings, her mother fainted at the sight of the disgusting creature and was rewarded with a beating from the father. Once seen as the breadwinner, his family doesn't even see him as a human, but simply as an insect that lives in a room. Imprisoned in a cage of isolation and denial, Gregor's perception begins to change because of this and questions his existence and role in the family. In fact, it makes him lose his appetite and sleep. Not only does his body deteriorate, but so does his perception of himself. Gregor's perception is completely reversed and agrees with his family during the climatic violin scene..
