Gregor Samsa in Lockdown

GREGOR SAMSA AWOKE ONE MORNING TO FIND HIMSELF TRANSFORMED INTO A GIGANTIC INSECT, BUT BECAUSE OF THE LOCKDOWN, HIS LIFE CARRIED ON PRETTY MUCH UNCHANGED.

Gregor Samsa, the protagonist of Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, sits at home as a giant insect, working at a desk. The joke is that lockdown has made his bizarre transformation barely change his isolated routine. This works as a reaction to quarantine, extreme isolation, or life feeling unchanged despite absurd circumstances.
