After watching Kafka, my perspective on metamorphosis really didn't change. Something that was similar was that before Gregor was turned into a bug he had communications with the outside world just like Kafka, but once he turned into a bug he had lost all communication with everyone, and once all of Kafka's friends died and he found out about how everyone was getting killed, he pretty much lost all contact with the outside world.
I think the moral of the story of Kafka is sometimes when you look farther than you should in things, and find out more than you should really know. Like Kafka, he looked so far into his friends death, that he found out how everyone else was all the sudden dieing, and then he put himself into danger from looking so hard. For metamorphosis, i think the moral of the story is to not judge people on what they look like. Also, don't judge people before you meet / get to know them
I think what he is saying about humanity is that if you look different than everyone else, then you get treated differently, like before he was turned into a bug everyone loved him, and once he changed and looked different, his parents didn't want anything to do with him. Which he is trying to say that in society we judge people way to much, and we need to stop. We shouldn't judge people what they look like. Even our families, our families shouldn't judge us because we can't do things we could do before. Also saying tha institutions are very juedgemental as well, and that needs to change in society.
