Gregor hates his job for numerous reasons: he dislikes traveling every day to work, he dislikes the job itself, the inferior meals, the ever changing faces... But he has to continue working because his parents owe Gregor's boss money.
Gregor, the protagonist of Kafka's The Metamorphosis, has various reasons to hate his job. He believes that the job is not suitable for him - it is too far away from his home, so he has to travel a lot; there are always new employees, so he has to meet new people every now and then (and he's not a sociable person); the meals are unsatisfactory; he doesn't feel any fulfillment from his job. The only reason why he keeps working there is because he owes his boss some money, so until he pays him off, he has to work for him.
The metaphors <em>newspapers </em><em>dying </em><em>= giant moths </em>and<em> </em>
<em>burning pages = black butterflies </em>are skillfully used by Ray Bradbury to turn objects as books and newspapers into beings. These metaphors are phrases that in the subconscience of Montag linger on and help him to become conscious of the value of books and newspapers.
