When Gregor Samsa woke up for work, he couldn’t get out of bed. He struggles for a short time, but soon realizes that he had transformed into a bug overnight. He is puzzled and has trouble accepting that he has been turned into a bug. He has no idea how this could have happened to him. Hoping that things will return to normal, he tries to go back bed. Since Gregor has changed shape and become a bug, he could not find a comfortable position to sleep in. His family notices that he is late for work and is worried about him. They yell outside of his bedroom for him to please come out. His voice has changed, so when he answers them back they think he is sick. It takes him longer than usual, but he eventually gets out of bed and makes it to the door.
