He thinks that Gregor Samsa actually turned into a Cockroach in the Metamorphosis

He became a janissary thus making him a t*rkroach

MOMMY!!!

that's why it's called the metaphormasis you retard

This.

>They think it was a metaphor
>a fucking metaphor
>a metaphor that doesn`t even make any sense since there`s no possible interpretation that conciles other`s changed views of him, the suddeness, his innard sanity and calm and his changed tastes
>they`re for reals
>good God
>they don`t get that it is a recreation of classical mythology in which people do something, just ANYTHING that some god might randomly punish them for, and get transformed into an animal or something
>these dimwits
>I can`t believe it

>they don`t get that it is a recreation of classical mythology in which people do something, just ANYTHING that some god might randomly punish them for, and get transformed into an animal or something

This doesn't seem to be right at all. Kafka was clearly alluding to Gregor being treated like "Ungeziefer" in a metaphorical AND a literal sense

OP is right, there's no moment where Gregor Samsa definitively has the anatomy of an insect. The descriptions are extremely suggestive and instead prod you into yourself finishing the image of him as a bug. For this reason Kafka asked his publisher to never depict the insect on the cover.

So, as for your proposed evidence: people can't get stuck on their backs? And there's certainly no mention of anything as specific as chitin in the story, at least in the German. Getting an apple stuck in him is strange but it is surreal enough on its own: he doesn't need to be an insect for its being lodged in him to "make sense."

The essence of the story is that his insectness is never rooted in 100% concrete details but always projected by his family, Gregor himself, and ultimately the reader.

Are you deliberately trying to misread the text? Why?
>AS GREGOR SAMSA AWOKE FROM unsettling dreams one morning, he found himself transformed in his bed into a monstrous vermin. He lay on his hard armorlike back and when he raised his head a little he saw his vaulted brown belly divided into sections by stiff arches from whose height the coverlet had already slipped and was about to slide off completely. His many legs, which were pathetically thin compared to the rest of his bulk, flickered helplessly before his eyes.

"found himself" -- already ambiguous
"hard armorlike" -- muscular, stiff?
"divided into sections" -- abs
"many legs" -- how many is many? Can 2 legs seem like "many' when you're already thoroughly disgusted with your body?

It is not: he had 12 legs and a chitin exoskeleton and antennae and beetle pincers...

>it was a metaphor
>the apple somehow killed him
