As I read the first lines of The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, I tried to imagine what kind of "monstrous vermin" Gregor had become. It was hard for me to actually visualize the overnight transition, I tried to come up with some conclusions as to why and how this could happened to a seemingly normal person. My thoughts began to drift on to broader aspects of what this "metamorphosis" could be as I continued to read. I concluded that Gregor's metamorphosis was state of mind that enveloped his entire being, changing his physical humanness into a "monstrous vermin." His change reminds me of Rihanna's "We Found Love" music video that showed her metamorphic state of mind that literally consumed her because she was so in love with that "Chris Brown wannabe".
Out of all the animals and creatures in the world, why did Gregor manifest into a insect? To think that a man could be cast into the shadows of a permanent physical solitude. Imagine the type of creatures we would turn into on a daily basis if we had this type of "metamorphosis" power. Right now, I would probably turned into a honey bee since I'm always busy and I can never find time for things. What kind of creature can you see yourself changing to?
