This story made me feel all icky and gooey probably because the story focuses on a human-sized bug. Throughout the entire book I felt Gregor’s hunger, neglect and inconvenience in the body. The entire story had this misery to it; be it from Gregor or his family. It was only until the end of the story when Gregor died that everyone was so suddenly happy with blue skies and sunshine shining over them. This extreme joy made me pity Gregor. His death was actually the cause of celebration to his family. It made me wonder though what the human Gregor was like with his family. There seems to be a great distance between him and his family – he locks himself in when he arrives home and wakes up early for work. I also wanted to know why Gregor was turned into a bug in the first place; all these questions in a 50-or-so-page novel.
