The metamorphosis continues the recurring theme in Kafka: the human being lives in an absurd world, without meaning, where he is only a victim of destiny and obligations. What's more: the human being is not valuable in itself (that is, as a person), but is valuable insofar as it is useful, insofar as it accommodates the needs of society and fulfills its duty, thus having to sacrifice to do so. Only then can we consider that a human being is valuable.
