One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found
himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his
armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his
brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections.
The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off
any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the
rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked. "What's happened to
me? " he thought. It wasn't a dream. His room, a proper human room
although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar
walls.
A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table - Samsa was
a travelling salesman - and above it there hung a picture that he had
recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice,
gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa
who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her
lower arm towards the viewer. Gregor then turned to look out the window
at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane,
which made him feel quite sad. "How about if I sleep a little bit
longer and forget all this nonsense", he thought, but that was
something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his
right, and in his present state couldn't get into that position.
However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to
where he was. He must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so
that he wouldn't have to look at the floundering legs, and only stopped
when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt
before. "Oh, God", he thought, "what a strenuous career it is that I've
chosen! Travelling day in and day out. Doing business like this takes
much more effort than doing your own business at home, and on top of
that there's the curse of travelling, worries about making train
connections, bad and irregular food, contact with different people all
the time so that you can never get to know anyone or become friendly
with them. It can all go to Hell!
" He felt a slight itch up on his belly; pushed himself slowly up on
his back towards the headboard so that he could lift his head better;
found where the itch was, and saw that it was covered with lots of
little white spots which he didn't know what to make of; and when he
tried to feel the place with one of his legs he drew it quickly back
because as soon as he touched it he was overcome by a cold shudder. He
slid back into his former position. "Getting up early all the time", he
thought, "it makes you stupid. You've got to get enough sleep. Other
travelling salesmen live a life of luxury. For instance, whenever I go
back to the guest house during the morning to copy out the contract,
these gentlemen are always still sitting there eating their breakfasts.
Travelling day in and day out. Doing business like this takes much more
effort than doing your own business at home, and on top of that there's
the curse of travelling, worries about making train connections, bad
and irregular food, contact with different people all the time so that
you can never get to know anyone or become friendly with them. It can
all go to Hell! " He felt a slight itch up on his belly; pushed himself
slowly up on his back towards the headboard so that he could lift his
head better; found where the itch was, and saw that it was covered with
lots of little white spots which he didn't know what to make of; and
when he tried to feel the place with one of his legs he drew it quickly
back because as soon as he touched it he was overcome by a cold
shudder. He slid back into his former position. "Getting up early all
the time", he thought, "it makes you stupid. You've got to get enough
sleep.
And it's a funny sort of business to be sitting up there at your desk,
talking down at your subordinates from up there, especially when you
have to go right up close because the boss is hard of hearing. Well,
there's still some hope; once I've got the money together to pay off my
parents' debt to him - another five or six years I suppose - that's
definitely what I'll do. That's when I'll make the big change. First of
all though, I've got to get up, my train leaves at five. " And he
looked over at the alarm clock, ticking on the chest of drawers. "God
in Heaven! " he thought. It was half past six and the hands were
quietly moving forwards, it was even later than half past, more like
quarter to seven. Had the alarm clock not rung?
He could see from the bed that it had been set for four o'clock as it
should have been; it certainly must have rung. Yes, but was it possible
to quietly sleep through that furniture-rattling noise? True, he had
not slept peacefully, but probably all the more deeply because of that.
What should he do now? The next train went at seven; if he were to
catch that he would have to rush like mad and the collection of samples
was still not packed, and he did not at all feel particularly fresh and
lively. And even if he did catch the train he would not avoid his
boss's anger as the office assistant would have been there to see the
five o'clock train go, he would have put in his report about Gregor's
not being there a long time ago. The office assistant was the boss's
man, spineless, and with no understanding. What about if he reported
sick? But that would be extremely strained and suspicious as in fifteen
years of service Gregor had never once yet been ill. His boss would
certainly come round with the doctor from the medical insurance
company, accuse his parents of having a lazy son, and accept the
doctor's recommendation not to make any claim as the doctor believed
that no-one was ever ill but that many were workshy. And what's more,
would he have been entirely wrong in this case? Gregor
