Metamorphosis By Franz Kafka
... He feels useless and utterly depressed, which leads me to believe that The Metamorphosis would be something that he should read. ... Perhaps if he read The Metamorphosis, he would better understand his behavioral transformation through the metaphor of Gregor’s physical one and change his feelings about himself because of it, preventing these consequences. ... I would dearly hate to see my friend go the way of The Metamorphosis and end out his life still in this painful rut.
