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
