In what ways is Gregory euthanized by his isolation? What about his feeling leads him to feel isolated? He found it difficult to bear lying down quietly during the night and soon eating no longer gave him the slightest pleasure. So for diversion he acquired the habit of crawling back and forth across the walls and ceiling. He was especially fond of hanging from the ceiling. (Kafka, 1915) Gregory is left alone most of the time. He only time he isnt lone is when his sister comes to feed him. Isolation has brought out more insect like characteristics in Gregory. He feels more cosy hanging upside off the ceiling like a bat. A normal human cannot enjoy being upside down like he did.
