This paper discusses Metamorphosis and the character of Gregor. Gregor sees himself as having changed into a non-communicative man-sized insect that is unable to move out of bed easily. His change is really within him, a change for the real - wherein his lack of communication with his family and his environment is finally made true. His inability to rise quickly and alertly is the realization of his dream to stop slaving for his family's support in an unexciting work setting such as his job. As an insect, he at least, would not be coerced into waking up and jumping to one's toes and working for hours for a purpose he would not rather do any more.
