Franz Kafka who wrote the book ‘The Metamorphosis’ tells the story about a boy name Gregor Samsa who one days completely transforms from a human being to a giant insect.
Before his transformation, his family used to treat him well and used to Care for him.
But as soon as they came to know about Gregor’s transformation, their feelings towards him changed.
They started treating him in a very cruel way, rather Gregor himself started hating his own self for what he has become.
