at first I was giggling to myself reading this. It’s very amusing that Gregor has seemingly no issues with being turned into a bug and is more concerned about missing the train to work.
Then the book very quickly gets miserable, as everyone else in his life begins to suffer from the lack of money. It’s clear how reliant everyone is on Gregor and the pressure and shame and guilt he feels steadily grows.
