In Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis," Gregor Samsa undergoes a profound transformation that alienates him from his family and society. As he changes into a creature, he finds that while his thoughts remain coherent, verbal communication has become impossible. The disconnection between his internal clarity and external expression intensifies the sense of isolation he experiences.

Despite the confusion surrounding his inability to communicate, Gregor begins to exhibit a sense of calmness. He comes to terms with his new reality, acknowledging that the words he once relied on are no longer understood by others. This acceptance reveals an introspective shift in Gregor, highlighting the tragic irony of his clarity amidst confusion, as he grapples with feelings of estrangement from those he once cared for.
