As I read The Metamorphosis, I can't help but reflect on how Gregor's experiences relate to ableism in our own society. This novella was beautifully written and truly made me think and ponder on the interpretation Kafka wanted us to believe. Despite the graphic and detailed descriptions of Gregor's transformation, explanations are left up to the reader's imagination.

I was really amused by the concept of this book and the way the characters reacted to gregor although the ending was satisfying, but in a sad way

• Negative one star on personal review
• Personal review is as following:
  • 'I hated this story. Woe is me, a poor man. I just work and now I am bug. I must now reflect as everyone shoes me away as they once were afraid to. Oh yeah and my sister is mighty fine if you know what I mean. Gross.'
