"Metamorphosis"

The short story "Metamorphosis" written by Franz Kafka is about a young traveling salesman who morphs into a giant bug. His sister is the only one who takes this transformation well. He stays in his room and the family feeds him. Since the family no longer has Gregor to work the family debt off they must all go find jobs. Gregor's state eventually leads to his mother's death, and the family begins using his room as a storage room. One day he hears his sister play the violin and he goes down stairs to see her and to in way let her know that he is there and he will do what he can to help her with her gift. He scares their tenants and he goes and dies in his room full of sadness. I hated this story. Not only was it long, but it had an awful ending.
