This story can be viewed as a funny story due to the fact that Gregor turns into a cockroach but at the same time it can also be viewed as just a sad story. Gregor in this story is a hard working sales man who hates his job and the life he’s living but keeps doing it so that his family can live a good life with no worries to be had. During the story Gregor turns into a human sized cockroach and is immediately rejected by everyone. The narrator in the video describes this as “sad” and I think thats the perfect word to use. Gregor used to do nothing but work to provide for his family and at a time when he needed his family to be with him the most he was rejected as if he had never done anything for them. The narrator in the video mentions how some scholars question if he was even an actual bug or if it was just a form of symbolism. Symbolism to describe the way he was treated by the ones he loved. This is a great point because he in no question was treated like one although he didn’t deserve to be. His family squeezed everything that they could from him until eventually he couldn’t do it anymore and simply rolled himself up in a ball to die. I didn’t realize this while talking about it in class and I think this is am important point. I think the moral of this story is essentially to warn people to not live their lives for someone else and if you are to make sure that those people are the right people to live your life for weather thats your family or a loved one. At the end of the day we only have one life and its best to live it on our terms and for the things and believes that we want.
