"The Metamorphosis" Essay
Gregor Samsa awakes one morning to find that he has been inexplicably transformed into a giant insect. The family is shocked and no one is fully able to handle this transformation.

I disagree with Franz Kafka's idea because not all of society is concerned with the outward appearance of an individual.
When someone in the story saw Gregor they were immediately terrified by him and fled the scene.
