Why would Kafka use transformation as a motif?

  • He believed he had no hope for any change of becoming normal again.
  • He thought that he was not noticed by society and by his family.
  • He felt more free of his actions, but more insecure of his appearance.

How did Gregor view his own transformation?

  • If you only read the book his transformation is random, but if have background knowledge of the author then the transformation doesn't appear so random.
