The Metamorphosis

I thought this short story was weird and interesting.  If I were to write a paper I would compare it to mentally challenged children.  I think sometimes parents don't share enough love with challenged children and that is the one quality they are looking for, to feel accepted.  They also don't get enough attention.  I think this is exactly how Gregor feels and how he feels like he can't contribute to the family anymore, that is no different than a mentally challenged child.  In some cases, that child knows they are a nusiance to the family.  I enjoyed reading this shorty story but also found it creepy that he was a bug.  But, I think Kafka did that on purpose to prove how different Gregor was from his family.
