In "The Metamorphosis," Gregor Samsa initially feels a sense of obligation and duty toward his job as a traveling salesman, as it is his sole means of supporting his family. However, he also experiences dissatisfaction and alienation, feeling trapped in a monotonous and demanding role that offers little personal fulfillment. His transformation into a bug exacerbates these feelings, ultimately highlighting the oppressive nature of his work and the lack of appreciation he receives from his family and society.

Gregor's metamorphosis into an insect represents his alienation and loss of identity, reflecting the emotional and psychological changes in his family, particularly his sister Grete. Initially sympathetic, Grete's transformation from caring sibling to resentful caregiver mirrors Gregor's decline, as she becomes increasingly burdened by his presence. Both characters undergo a profound change, highlighting themes of isolation, responsibility, and the fragility of familial bonds. Ultimately, their metamorphoses reveal the deep-seated tensions and shifting dynamics within the family unit.

It is left unstated and open to your own interpretation to what Gregor suffered from. It widely believed that Gregor suffered from a mental illness rather than a physical one.
