Gregor's sacrifice goes unappreciated from "summary" of The Metamorphosis (Legend Classics) by Franz Kafka,David Wyllie

Throughout the story, Gregor Samsa sacrifices his own well-being for the sake of his family. His transformation into a giant insect symbolizes the burden he carries to provide for his loved ones. Despite his efforts to support them financially, his family fails to appreciate his sacrifices. They view him as a burden rather than a provider, and they quickly grow accustomed to his presence in his new form. Gregor's dedication to his family is evident in his daily routine of waking up early to go to work and returning home to rest before repeating the cycle. He endures the physical and emotional toll of his transformation in order to continue working and supporting his family. However, his family members do not acknowledge the extent of his sacrifice. Instead, they become increasingly distant and resentful towards him. As Gregor's condition deteriorates, his family's attitude towards him worsens. They begin to neglect his needs and focus on their own desires. They stop considering his feelings and treat him as an inconvenience rather than a member of the family. This lack of empathy highlights the unappreciated nature of Gregor's sacrifice. Despite his best efforts to communicate with his family, Gregor is met with indifference and rejection. His attempts to reach out to them are met with fear and disgust, further isolating him from the very people he strives to care for. In the end, Gregor's sacrifice goes unnoticed and unappreciated, leaving him alone and isolated in his suffering. The story of Gregor Samsa serves as a poignant reminder of the consequences of unacknowledged sacrifice. It sheds light on the importance of recognizing and valuing the efforts made by others for the greater good. Gregor's fate serves as a cautionary tale of the dangers of taking sacrifices for granted and the impact it can have on those who give selflessly.
