When reading The Metamorphosis by Kafka I realized that this story was about alienation. Once Gregor becomes an insect, his whole family becomes disgusted with him and wants to keep him in his room, where no one can see what has happened to him. What I liked about this story was how Kafka wrote it. It was written as if it was his own diary, he wrote with much detail wanting the reader to understand exactly what he was trying to convey. Although I enjoyed how Kafka wrote this story, I didn't like how all the pressure was on Gregor to work. That we was the only one in his family that was "the provider." Since Gregor was the only one to work and has transformed into an insect his family became poor and had to figure out other options to make money. Since Gregor could not work and was alienated by his family, he died. In the end, this was the saddest part of the story but it made me realize that this happens everyday. In school, work or even at home people get alienated. This by far is the worst alienation from a family I could imagine.
