Metamorphosis (15-25)

The Metamorphosis continues to be weird and confusing. Gregor is still a huge insect, stuck in his room. His parents are frantic because they have no idea what is going on.  His employer left in disgust, and Gregor probably already lost his job. Gregor thinks that his family can hear him when he is talking but in reality they can't. He is speaking but they are simply only thoughts going through his head. He cannot verbally speak. Now all that he is worried about is getting up and eating for he is hungry, and before his priority was getting to work. He is it taking the time to realize that he is now an insect and no one can hear him. This could symbolize him being stuck in this body where he can't express himself and how he feels. He is inside this body where he can't move, and no one can hear what he is saying.
