What circumstances in Gregor's life might have caused him to feel dehumanized even before the metamorphosis took place?
Before the metamorphosis took place Gregor's life was tiring. He didn't like his job and he was always traveling being that he was a salesman. Gregor always has to cope with the problems of traveling, the worries about train connections, irregular bad food, and the issues with human relationships. This in a way can relate to the metamorphosis because being that he is an insect, insects are always traveling non stop and they come across bad food and different relationships with those of heir own species. Things were stressful for Gregor as a salesmen and people weren't always the nicest to him when he was trying to sell a certain product and its that way with insects, people dont like them or cant stand them.
Gregor has personal issues with him and his family. Gregor's father was not always the most loving person and at times seemed very strict. When he was yelling at Gregor to open the door that then showed how he was so different from the sister and the mother. Being that he was an insect, human beings dont always treat insects fairly or with the respect that they diserve. And Gregor is helping his father pay off the dept they owe so he should be getting some kindness in return from his family. And now that he is going through metamoposis things might get even worst.
