The Metamorphosis, by Franz Kafka, begins with the development of Gregory as an insect. In the first paragraph, which is a very famous one in literature, Kafka describes it so: "When Gregor Samsa woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin." (Kafka 3) After Gregor's change into an insect, his entire family rejects him; everyone changes. Upon seeing Gregor as this insect, his boss runs away. His father locks him in his room and later injures him by chunking apples at him and his mother is so horrid at the sight of her son as a bug she faints; even Grete, who is close to Greg, tires of caring for him, wishing he would go away. None of them think about how Gregor feels about his miserable transformation; instead, they are worried about how the metamorphosis will have an effect on of the on them personally, (especially since Gregor has been the main source of income for the family). .
Gregor's family has always depended upon him for total support. Wilhelm Emrich writes in his essay, The Animal as Liberating "Self" about Gregor that "He believed he had to provide his family with pleasant, contented, secure life by sacrificing himself, by selling himself to his business." (125) When Gregor becomes a bug and can no longer work; the other family members change from lazy, slothful people into workers who support themselves. His transformation forces the members of the Samsa family into the work force, and this puts Gregor's father back in charge of the household; look at what is written in the essay Education for Tragedy: "Through Gregor's metamorphosis, the father becomes masterful again and reasserts himself as head of the family." (Sokel 170) It becomes evident to Gregor that his metamorphosis is creating change in the family. They no longer eat as much, and the maid no longer comes. His mother and sister take on all the housework and cooking, which makes Gregor feel guilty.
