Maybe "The Metamorphosis" is a rough depiction of how his life is in the moment or the past. He may just be using this story to write about the way he feels, because it is know that he feels like an outsider and that he just doesnt fit in. Kafka is taking care of his family in the story and does all this hard door to door work for them. He comes home and puts dinner on the table even though he is caring the family debt on his shoulders and his family awknowledge him at this moment and they think of him as one of them treating him with love. In the story Kafka goes to bed and wakes up feeling different and doesnt even look in the mirror. He thinks to himself how different it is moving. He is then treated differently and the point of view changes
