You could argue that his insanity is due to the way he is isolated from society because of his work. He feels alone and uncared for in the world which is reflected in how the insect in the book feels. I, on the other hand, believe that Gregor is not insane and somehow really is an insect. This can be proved in how he…

and why did the author make it that way. These are pressing question but also what is so similar about these stories and how they suffered. In the “The Penal Colony” Kafka bring to our attention that “condemned” people don’t have the right to a trial or are able to defend themselves.
