The Metamorphosis: day one (5-15)

Once Gregor first discovers that he has transformed into a giant insect, he does not appear to be troubled or concerned in any way. He regards this transformation as any normal disturbance to his sleep. Moreover, he continues to his proclaim his largely ordinary concerns: losing his job, sleeping comfortably, his family's economic situation. This maintains the novel's ridiculous tone, at least so far in the story.
