            In the space of three weeks from mid November to early December 1912, a 29 year old unknown Czech author wrote the short story of travelling salesman Gregor Samsa, who wakes up one morning after fretful dreams to find himself mutated into a verminous insect of grotesque proportions. Having worked his fingers to the bone for five years in a detested job to keep his indolent parents and sister in their luxurious lifestyle, Gregor is now rendered incapable of carrying out his responsibilities. His transformation into a hideous parasite is a cry for help, but his craving for understanding and love is not met. His idle teenage sister jealously dominates his care, his hitherto slothful father is bitter about the loss of family income, and his weak and asthmatic mother can only look on ineffectively as Gregor's fate unfolds. Gregors craving for emotional fulfilment is met by misunderstanding and ultimately physical abuse. He is attacked by his father, who penetrates his insect shell with a vicious bombardment of rock-hard apples and is prevented from killing Gregor only by the desperate intervention of his mother. Imprisoned in his increasingly neglected room, he wastes away from the lack of the right kind of sustenance and finally dies from the great wound in his back. The sister he has always cherished finally turns on him viciously and demands his disappearance, a demand that Gregor inwardly accepts has to be carried out. At his death, the brutish charlady sweeps away his remains and his family are released from their dreadful burden to celebrate their prospects for the future.
