In our class discussion everyone brought up many interesting topics within Metamorphosis. One that still puzzles me is the question of whether or not we, as humans, are naturally and morally good. or if we are taught to be this way. In my opinion we are naturally not good, as our natural instinct is to be selfish. What causes us not to put ourselves first is when its for a person you have grown to know and possibly love such as family or friends. But then i begin to even wonder what 'good' really is.
Another interesting topic is Gregor's mental habits. The fact that he continues with his habitual habits and thinking process even after realizing he's now a giant insect is strange to me. If that were me, i definitely would not be that calm or worried about how much i hate my job. Then again there is no way of knowing how one would react to a situation unless they experience it themselves. Gregor just seems to be in denial of his predicament
