About This Novel
The protagonist Gregor Samsa in "The Metamorphosis" works as a traveling salesman in a company. He travels around for many years and works hard to support the entire family's expenses. When Samsa could still support his unsympathetic family with a meager salary, he was the respected eldest son in the family. His parents praised him and his sister loved him. When one day he turned into a beetle, lost his labor force, and no longer contributed materially to the family, his family changed their previous respect for him and gradually showed a face of indifference, disgust, and hatred. His father beat him viciously with an apple, his mother fainted from fright, and his sister disliked him. Gradually, Samsa moved away from society, and finally died silently and painfully of hunger.
