The change in Gregor causes an identity crisis in all of his family. Everyone and his family then becomes what they have to be in order to contribute to their well being. “His mother… sew fancy underwear for a fashion shop; his sister, who had taken a sales job, learned shorthand and French in the evening so that she might be able to get a better position later on.” (16) Everyone had to step up to cover for the disabilities of Gregor, but by doing so their hate for Gregor only grows more because they now only see him as a burden. This represent the cruelty of society we always see homeless people or people in need as a burden that we have to deal with. We see old people as a burden but we fail to realize that at some point in their lifetime they we big contributors to our society. Metamorphosis gives us a good sense of how cruel society can be. It shows us that no matter what you do or how much you help people only want you as long as you can do something for them. Metamorphosis shows us how society can change a person society whether its for the better or worse we create people around us. We help form a person's identity whether we realize it or not. Gregor and his family give us the best representation of the messed up society we live
