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.
