I thought the reaction of the others might come from him looking really awful due to his stress and him most likely not taking care of himself anymore. One thing that bugged me about him possibly still being a human is the apple scene which might not be impossible due to brittle skin or something, Im no expert, but I would find it a lot less unsettling if he would be a bug. Its a metaphor either way though. On a side note I once read that that the sort of bug he is descripted as in the book would be able to fly (pic not related). Its kind of sad to imagine that he was able to escape the whole time but did not chose to do so or wasnt aware of it being a possibility. Also works pretty well as a metaphor I think. Since the only contact he has is his family and his work and he gets his self worth from providing for his family he doesnt acknowledge just running away and having a fresh start as an option even when his family leaves him to die.

What do you think about Kafkas work with the widest recognition?
