Small paragraph about metamorphosis

The title, "metamorphosis," suits the book because Gregor and Grete both to through transformations that are necessary and beneficial. Gregor transforms into a bug, has a hard life, and dies; however, this transformation is natural and beneficial (metaphorically natural). Gregor is so steeped in the colony-like work structure that he actually becomes a worker bug. Even when he is in a new body, terrified, and confused he still seeks forgiveness from up his boss. He tries to say "a person can be incapable of work momentarily, but that's precisely the best time to remember earlier achievements and to consider that later, after the obstacles have been shoved aside, the person will work all thee more eagerly and intensely"(Kafka 16). Even though he has just turned into a bug and is incapable of work, Gregor still feels the need to apologize to and resume working for his boss, like a worker bug. In this way, Gregor shows that he was really a bug all along, and so his transformation made him closer to his true self. Grete's transformation is summarized in the last sentence of the book, "and it was something of a confirmation of their new dreams and good intentions when at the end of their journey their daughter got up first and stretched her young body" (Kafka 53). The dreams and intentions mentioned in the quote refer (partially) to their desire to find Grete a new job, a husband, and put her new body and skills to better use. So basically, Grete transforms into a post-pubescent body and now she is going to use it to find a husband, work for more money, and take advantage of life. If Gregor hadn't transformed, she would have stayed in the home doing nothing and maybe gone to music school. Gregor's and Grete's metamorphoses allowed them to become who they really are and live a better and truer life.
