This paper discusses the story of Gregor Samsa in The Metamorphosis. Gregor reacts to his metamorphosis not with horror or anger or self-pity, but rather with an almost numb practicality. And his greatest concern is not that he now found himself changed into a "monstrous vermin", but rather that he is late for work and will undoubtedly have to answer to everyone as to why. Indeed, such a physical change, he may have thought, did not necessarily afford him with the lifestyle change that he so desired. And in essence, the fact that he was now a big bug actually did very little to change anything. A cynical man might sum up the situation by saying, "He was miserable before, and he's miserable now. Where's the change in that?"
