There's a cliché that says, "Don't judge a book by its cover." The quality of the external appearance is not equivalent to the content. In fact, real contents should be valued more than appearance, even if indirectly sensing other people's feelings is exhausting. In the story “The Metamorphosis” by Franz Kafka, the author uses Gregor's bizarre external transformation to represent the judgmental characteristic of human beings. While Gregor still perceives himself as his parents' responsible son and Grete's beloved brother, they perceive him as trash, something to be thrown away. The story is set in an ordinary house on "Charlotte Street" (28), in Mr. Samsa's estate. The family is made up of four people, the father, the mother, Grete and Gregor. The family is conservative and tries to minimize change; ignoring the dirt and trying to maintain a balance. Gregor Samsa is a man willing to sacrifice himself for his family in order to maintain an unstable balance. He feels fulfillment whenever family members are satisfied with his work. Unlike Grete, Gregor is born with some talent so he subconsciously tries to earn a reputation. He puts himself in a tough situation so that the family can perceive him as a responsible and caring member of the family. Furthermore, he is a man with great empathy towards others, and wants his family to live with as little difficulty as possible. He wants Grete not to be like him, but to live full of joy. He also understands his father's declining integrity, as the business collapsed long ago, and he goes through life with some hope. Gregor Samsa lives humbly and dedicates his life to the happiness of others. The "money was received with thanks and given with pleasure" (26). The family once perceives... the middle of the card... the extremes of the spectrum. His father, mother and Grete judge him externally and hope that he will never find himself in front of them. Gregor constantly sends unrequited love hoping that they will notice that his internal factors remain unchanged. When Gregor realizes that his family's love is fading, he discovers that they will never be able to accept who he really is. Moreover, he is completely immersed in dirty emotions and driven to death. The family refuses to judge it based on its contents. Although Gregor's perception of himself remains unchanged, the family refuses to have the same perception as before. Even after the Metamorphosis, Gregor still longs to be a responsible son to his parents and Grete's beloved brother. Yet the family treats him like garbage, something to throw away. People are intolerant of things different from them and unable to see through content.
