Best Ideas From Metamorphosis Discussion

I particularly liked the way our group was able to analyze Gregor's relationship with this family; it is evident that Gregor truly does love his family as he has taken the provider role for his family. Although he and his father may not be particularly close, they are still family and Gregor has essentially sacrificed his future so his dad has not needed to work over the past five years. However, it appears to me that Gregor has limited himself because of that which directly parallels with the meaning of the bug. The bug has such physical limitations which compare with the limitations of the family. Both the family and the physicality of the bug do not allow Gregor to completely express himself in the way he wish he could. Moreover, I also found it interesting to see what we would think if we became a bug as some people would maybe simply accept it as Gregor did while others would truly question what has just happened to them.
