What circumstances in Gregor's life might have caused him to feel dehumanized even before the metamorphosis took place?
I think that Gregor became a cockroach because he did nothing but work. He would get up at 4 in the morning tired and leave for work. Gregor gets back when other people were eating breakfast and have to make the necessary orders his job a traveling salesmen need to do then go out and sell. When he comes back to the inn he then helps his family with chores and fixes things. He wishes he was able to tell his boss what he thought of him but cant because his parents owes money to the boss.
Gregor feels like a slave that has to work to pay off a debt because he has to help his parents pay off the debt to the boss for reasons we do not know and he hates the job he has to do. His family relationship has deteriorated leaving only the need to take care of his mom dad and sister. Then at one point he felt like a stranger with his family he transformed into the cockroach.
