VULNERABLE
In reading Metamorphosis, I was surprised at how one man's life changed overnight. Gregor was a hardworking man, who was dedicated to his job. He also was very independant and his family backbone, he worked to take care of them. Waking up one morning not his usual self, in which he thought was a dream, Gregor had turned into a dung beetle. Everything about his life had changed. He was no longer able to be the sole providor he once was. Gregor was vulnerable. The roles changed and Gregor was depending on his family to help him, like he did for them. Although Gregor was trying to cope with his new shell, his family wasn't ready to accept the fact that he wasn't his normal self. However, his sister stepped up and did her best in helping Gregor. "Come on, he's out of sight( Kafka2016). After the sister noticed Gregor behavior and decided to move out the furniture so he can have enough room to move around with the help of her mother. "Oh God, Oh God(Kafka2018)! The mother had seen Gregor, and couldnt come to grasp that that was her son. Gregor was not about to let them take his picture, after all it was his. Everything in the room was his for the past five years.
