Gregor withdrew his head from the door, and turned to look at his father. He really hadnt imagined him the way he was; admittedly, he had been distracted of late by the novel sensation of crawling, and had neglected to pay attention to goings-on in the rest of the flat, as he had previously and so really he should have been prepared to come upon some alterations. But really, really, was that still his father? The same man who had lain feebly buried in bed, when Gregor had set out formerly on a business trip… (Norton Anthology, 965-6) Themes of isolation & conflict of man vs. society Anxiety of a world purposely and cruelly pitting Gregor against the odds; leading into hopelessness Presenting a threat to the order of the world, Gregor is enforced to change himself; the characters around him also change, such as his family Finding a way to obtain relief from the troublesome situation
