The Metamorphosis: A Surreal Tale of Isolation, Identity, and Human Fragility

🐞 One morning, Gregor Samsa woke to find himself transformed… into a monstrous insect.

With this iconic opening line, The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka launches one of the most unsettling and powerful narratives in world literature. When traveling salesman Gregor Samsa inexplicably turns into a giant bug, he is cast into a surreal nightmare of rejection, shame, and existential despair.

Kafka masterfully explores themes of alienation, dehumanization, and the crushing weight of societal expectation, all within a bleakly absurd and intensely emotional framework. This novella remains a haunting allegory of the modern human experience—both deeply personal and universally resonant.
