When an experience changes lives, the change is not limited to only one life, it can effect others. If the alteration is dramatic, enough it can cause a domino effect of changes. Change does not necessarily just mean physical; it can also be emotional or mental. Gregor Samsa, the main character in Kafka’s “Metamorphosis”, was filled with empty routine leaving him feeling emotionally unfulfilled. At times, he felt caged and restricted due to the obligation forced upon him. May be that is why unexpectedly, one day he woke up as a gigantic bug. His transmutation forcefully altered the lives of his family. In the beginning, Mr. and Mrs. Samsa at one time lived an extremely calm and pleasant life filled with no major responsibilities because Gregor would take care of them.
