Metamorphosis: a transformation linked to real health problems. In the story, The Metamorphosis, Gregor's transformation into vermin can be linked to the overall health in today's society. because Gregor's "disorder" altered his "complete state of physical, mental and social well-being" (Kaiser Permanente). Based on the definition of health, Gregor's condition and the experiences he had in the story would be more similar to someone who was in poor overall health. Gregor's transformation could have been caused by his arduous career as a traveling salesman (Wyllie). “After fifteen years of service, Gregor had never been ill” (quoted in Wyllie). Overworking can have a negative effect on your body and lead to poor health. Gregor's condition caused him physical, mental and social symptoms. Physically, Gregor's condition made him resemble a sick individual and caused him to lose much of his mobility. His physical appearance changed from that of a healthy man to that of diseased vermin. Her skin changed color, symptoms of poor circulation and malnutrition. Gregor had "no proper teeth" (quoted in Wyllie), which is a sign of poor dental care that can lead to gum disease and other serious health problems. Gregor's mobility became limited after the transformation, which is a sign of a serious health problem. His legs continually moved in different directions, which he was no longer able to control (Wyllie). His movement became so difficult that he could no longer concentrate on anything else (Wyllie). This made him very weak where he would need to rest to be able to recover from the effort required to move his body (Wyllie). These symptoms caused Gregor to feel trapped in an unfamiliar body that...... middle of paper ...... neglected can cause problems in another and ultimately lead to an unhealthy lifestyle. They are all connected and each plays a key role in a complete quality of life. Many people think that health depends solely on the physical state of your body. You may be in the best possible shape medically, but if you are under a lot of stress, your mental health is compromised, which can lead to isolation from others, and now your social health is neglected. It's just a big cycle. Focusing on all the elements of good health, such as eating a balanced diet for your physique, finding painkillers for your mind, and spending time with friends and family for social activities, is taking positive preventative measures to stay healthy. It is not just our responsibility, but a community effort to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to achieve and maintain good overall health..
