Gregor Samsa wakes up one day realizes that he has gone through an extreme transformation. He has gone from a human male, to a disgusting pest. This does not go well at all with his family. At first when Gregor does not leave the house for work, this family believes that Gregor is just being lazy and irresponsible again. But when he exits his room for the first time as a vermin, the family completely freaks out. Even though Gregor was still their son, they had no respect for him at all. This can be an allegory that symbolizes the way Gregor actually felt in his everyday life, prior to being a disgusting bug. Gregor was not doing great financially, he was depressed and his family never treated him with dignity or admiration. After a while, being treated in such horrific manners can lead to depression and hating life as a whole. This is what Gregor felt, and that was what the bug represented. He felt like he was being treated as some nauseating, and sickening bug and it was hard for him to handle. His own father was trying to chase him and injure him, his mother fainted almost every time she saw him and his little sister who at first cared for him eventually wanted him out of the house. After all this hatred, tension and depression, Gregor did not see meaning to life. He did not enjoy any moment, and the vermin he transformed to, is what he felt like as he lived through life.
