The transformation of Gregor Samsa in Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" leads to a significant change in his demeanor and relationships. Initially a dutiful and caring son, Gregor's metamorphosis into an insect reflects a shift in his priorities and feelings. As he becomes increasingly isolated due to his new form, he begins to lose interest in the wellbeing of others around him.

This growing indifference to those he once cared about marks a profound departure from his character. Gregor's earlier pride in his consideration for family fades, highlighting the impacts of alienation and despair. His transformation not only alters his physical state but also erodes his humanity and connection with loved ones.
