Just finished the book, and I want to talk about it real quick. I’d say this book is actually surprisingly sad. Didn’t have specific expectations beforehand, but I certainly didn’t think it was going to hit me this hard.
The consequential changes that Gregor is going through are written in very certain details which really depict the sadness of the situation. He becoming a bug is already a bad situation, but becoming something that makes your family’s life harder and unmanageable is defeating. Becoming a burden. No purpose. No meaning. No will for life.
This book in some ways talks about how for example, old and sick people, often become burdens in their families because they don’t serve them for nothing, not even normal communication. They sort of, become a plant.
