>Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), who spent much of his youth in Virginia, was an eccentric genius. Orphaned at an early age, cursed with ill health, and married to a child-wife of thirteen who fell fatally ill of tuberculosis, he suffered hunger, cold, poverty, and debt.

"Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!" I shrieked, upstarting--
"Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken! -- quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!"
Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."

Kafka's Metamorphosis is the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about examplars of /jp/.

>Gregor Samsa awakes one morning in his family's apartment to find himself inexplicably transformed overnight into a gigantic pest. Curiously, his condition does not arouse a sense of surprise or incredulity in the eyes of his family, who merely despise it as an indication of their impending burden. However, most of the story revolves around his interactions with his family, with whom he lives, and their shock, denial, and repulsion whenever they are confronted with his physical condition. Horrified by his appearance, his family takes to shutting Gregor into his room, but Grete, his sister, tries to care for him by providing him with food and water.

So far so good right? You're a NEET, although a hexapod one, and have a loving imouto to care for you. Except you are a gigantic bug and can't work anymore, so your family falls to poverty and comes to hate you for it.

>Although he imprisons himself within his room voluntarily at first, his family later become the jailers, locking Gregor in from the outside, partly to hide him from their new lodgers. One day the door is left open, and Gregor's sister plays the violin to entertain the lodgers. Gregor is attracted to the music, and slowly walks into the dining room despite himself, entertaining a fantasy of getting his much-loved sister to join him in his room and play her violin for him. He imagines telling Grete of his plans to send her to the conservatory to study the violin. The lodgers see him and give notice, refusing to pay the rent they owe, even threatening to sue the family for harbouring him while they stayed there. Even Grete's rejection of Gregor is total when she says to the family, "We must try to get rid of it. We've done everything humanly possible to take care of it and to put up with it, no one can reproach us in the slightest."

So Ronery: the book.

What made me sick reading The Metamorphosis was that, after he first transforms, Gregor retains the ability to speak, but destroys it in his haste to open his door to talk to his family. After ripping up his mandibles, he is difficult to understand, and he never tries again after the shock of failing to communicate verbally the first time they see his transformation. I almost cried at that part.

I thought he was referring to something that happened in a story, not the name of the story itself.
Thanks though.
