Gregor is a traveling salesman who is used to his daily routine and has been conditioned by society and his reality that being a salesman is the most important aspect of his life. But one day it all changes and Gregor wakes up a new “thing,” he is transformed, thrown out of sync of his normal routine. As he struggles to adapt he begins to find it harder and harder to relate to anyone; has he always been disconnected from reality or was it because of his transformation? The Metamorphosis is studied across the world throughout colleges and universities and has become a staple in 20th century literature.
