Publisher Description
Metamorphosis is a biological process by which an animal physically develops after birth or hatching, involving a conspicuous and relatively abrupt change in the animal's body structure through cell growth and differentiation. Some insects, amphibians, molluscs, crustaceans, Cnidarians, echinoderms and tunicates undergo metamorphosis, which is usually accompanied by a change of habitat or behavior.
Scientific usage of the term is exclusive, and is not applied to general aspects of cell growth, including rapid growth spurts. References to "metamorphosis" in mammals are imprecise and only colloquial, but historically idealist ideas of transformation and monadology, as in Goethe's Metamorphosis of Plants, influenced the development of ideas of evolution.

Loved
I really really liked this. I loved the metaphors and parallels. I loved being able to see inside his mind, seeing how he reacted to being completely estranged by his family, who he gave everything to. I loved seeing his decline up to his death and the way his family reacted to it. His sister who he was mesmerised by and so proud of in the last scenes calling him “it” and begging to get rid of him in the very scene before his death. I saw parts of this story in my life and in the people around me. Loved it.

Planning to read more Kafka in all his absurdity.
