Metamorphosis

The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka 

Gregor Samsa, a traveling salesman, wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into a giant insect. Unable to work, he becomes a burden to his family, who grow resentful and ashamed of him. As Gregor’s condition worsens, he is increasingly isolated and neglected, until he eventually dies alone. His family, relieved, begins to move on with their lives.
