Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis is a seminal work of existential literature that begins with an unsettling transformation: Gregor Samsa, a traveling salesman, awakens to find himself inexplicably changed into a giant, insect-like creature. This surreal event forces a shift in his household dynamics, as his family’s initial horror eventually gives way to resentment and neglect. The novella is a profound exploration of alienation, the weight of societal expectations, and the fragility of human identity when stripped of utility.
