    Needs to be said that Kafka’s “Metamorphosis” is not about being scared of becoming a bug, it’s about being so socially isolated and invisible in the modern world because you’re just a cog in a machine that you feel as if you’re nothing better than a bug. And once you can’t contribute anymore, once you can’t labour even your family will discard of you like the bug you are.
