Metamorphosis and the Big Question
My big question relates to Metamorphosis because Gregor is never really free from his family. Although he is a young man and has the means to live by himself and be "free" from his family, he feels as though he must stay with his family and resolve all of their problems. Gregor does not receive the freedom that most teenagers look forward to when they graduate and is stuck to fix his parents mistakes. The freedom that he seeks is not free, he must work until he can pay off his family's debt, and then he will be free to do as he wants. Of course, this freedom never comes for him, as he turns into a bug as cannot work any longer.
