One morning upon waking from an dream Gregor finds himself turned into a giant insect. As he lay on his back, his thin legs struggling in the way up turned bugs do he wonders what has happened. He glances around his room, and find that everything as he had left it. His cloth samples were spread around the room, the picture that he had only recently cut out of a magazine and framed was there. But gregor has unquestionably become a bug. He attempts to go back to sleep, but his insect body prevents them. He begins to feel strained from the effort and stops.
