If you understood those other books what didn't you get about the metamorphosis? Its typical Kafka. Try to imagine the story as if Gregor actually just got some crippling disease or something. It could be about how his family using him to bring in money while not actually caring about him, even before the transformation. The guilt of him feeling as if he is just a burden on the family and the way they treat him just makes it an absurd story. Its open to a lot of interpretation.
