Franz Kafka was a German-speaking Bohemian novelist and short story writer based in Prague. He is regarded as a major figure of 20th-century literature. His work combines both realism and the fantastic.
In the story, “The Metamorphosis,” the protagonist is Gregor Samsa. One day he wakes up... in the form of a gigantic insect. Gregor is left without work, and his relatives lock him in a room, adding to his anguish. These changes that completely isolate Gregor from the world lead to his death in the end. This is actually a relief for his family who by then are sick of him.
The story’s description of Gregor’s gradual expulsion from the circle of people closest to him is read as a process of ruthless rejection of "others,” individuals suffering from their own human misfortune, by a prosperous yet indifferent society.
