The Metamorphosis

• I find this story really weird because the Gregor never worries about himself being a bug. No one ever questions why he is a bug.  Kafka uses his life kind of to write this story. His father was also a big selfish business man. This is a lot like the father in the story. He had a harsh relationship with his father, and I think that is why the father is the way he is in the story.
• The short story starts off with him waking up as a bug on his bed. He cannot firgure out how to turn over, so this process takes awhile. He is very worried about how he is going to catch the train and get to work. He misses work, but someone from his work comes to check on him. He finally gets out of bed and tries to open his door. When this happens, everyone behind the door is shocked. Gregor just keeps to himself, and his wife leaves him food and milk to drink and eat. He over hears some of the conversations that they have in the family room. The father won't let his mother see him. The only thing Gregor wants is for his daughter to be a violinist, but she is being a maid pretty much. One day, his dad begins to throw fruit at him, trying to kill him. They still have no idea if he is really Gregor or a bug. He eventually is locked in a room and left to die.
