It's about transforming from male-to-female.
Truly a seminal book that everyone interested in transgender rights / feminism should read

It means that the book is the code, which has the power to reprogram reading it human to do/be something else.

I read people calling the thing in which Gregor Samsa transforms a bug

But its not a bug, its a vermin, a "Ungeziefer"
Big difference
In the original version its never called a bug

The book has nothing to do with changing sexes, as if thats even possible
Kafka was just totally fucked by life and his work reflects that

>> No.9442579

It's about MGTOW. Gregor Samsa was a men's rights activist surrounded by feminazi SJW cucks.

Kafka was trying to redpill the white men of his time. Subtle, I know.

It's clearly about nihilism induced by the modern conditions of industrialism and work.

Holy shit do I have to explain this in every thread now? Didn't you all read what his boss says, and how his family members all relied on his profit? They literally make the sister their new "host" at the end.

It's strongly implied that it's a bug, he's walking up walls and shit.

I agree, transgender "people" are vermin.

Damn...

The term vermin is used so that the reader may picture the transformed Gregor in his own way

The vermin is some sort of bug but not a preexisting one

>women are repulsive vermin

I give zero shits about trannies and hope the fad ends soon, but Orlando was a pretty good book too.

I was thinking it was more like some sort of centipede.
