Gregor longs to communicate with his family from "summary" of The Metamorphosis (Legend Classics) by Franz Kafka,David Wyllie

Gregor, a traveling salesman, wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into a giant insect. As he struggles to make sense of his new form, he becomes acutely aware of his inability to communicate with his family. Despite his physical transformation, Gregor remains emotionally connected to his family and longs to reach out to them. His desire to communicate with his family is evident from the moment he realizes his predicament. He tries to speak to his family, but his insect-like sounds only serve to frighten them. Gregor's frustration grows as he realizes that his family cannot understand him, nor can he understand their reactions to his transformation. He longs to bridge this communication gap, to make them see that he is still the same person inside. As the days pass, Gregor becomes increasingly isolated from his family. They begin to view him as a burden, a reminder of their former life that they would rather forget. Despite their efforts to care for him, Gregor cannot help but feel a sense of alienation from them. He longs for the warmth and connection that he once shared with his family, but it seems to grow more distant with each passing day. Gregor's longing to communicate with his family is a reflection of his deep-seated need for human connection. Even in his transformed state, he craves the love and understanding that only his family can provide. However, his inability to communicate effectively serves as a barrier between them, highlighting the tragic irony of his situation. Gregor's longing for communication underscores the fundamental human need for connection, understanding, and empathy.
