Abstract	Abstract: The chain of literary theories is intricately woven in the work, with very unique style. With an experience of father issues from childhood and being the single breadwinner of the family , Gregor had to toil the whole day as a salesman but unknowingly he was transformed to a vermin, which led to his inactivity leading to financial crisis in his family—which is a phenomenon with no valid explanation, through which the novella heads towards a climax of a bitter sweet fate. It is totally a hardcore reality of a German speaking Jew in the fast paced world. It weaves structuralism, existentialism, absurdism, surrealism and realism in one thread. It centres around alienation, isolation, and the dehumanising effects of modern society. Capitalism is the main threat that demolished all relationships and swift stride of commoners with less pay, and the futility of human happiness under the rapid metamorphosis of society accelerating the metamorphosis of youth from agile to vain.
Keywords	Keywords: Existentialism, Surrealism, Structuralism.
