Metamorphosis - Franz Kafka

A famous and curious fable about a man whose transformation into a giant cockroach is greeted by a sense of disconcertment by the victim and horror by his parents and sister. I've no idea what Kafka meant this tale to convey, but I saw it as a parable about the fragility of the bond between a man and his family, and by extension society as a whole.
