I think what kafka was trying to say by turning greggor into a bug Was that he felt like a bug. Nobody like bugs, whenever someone sees a bug they talk about how gross it is, they are a nuscense to most people, and we can all agree that we wish they were never here. So what im thinking is that kafka used this human to bug transformation to explain how greggor was feeling amd maybe how people were treating him. Like his boss or family. Greggor definitely could have lived a better life before he passed away, and maybe if he wasnt feeling like a "bug" even though he was one, he wouldnt have died.
I think kafka chose the roach as the transformation bug in the story because roaches are just about the most disgusting insect anyone could encounter. They Are dirty, ugly and i bet even some people are scared of them. On the other hand, when someone sees a frog they think its cool, and frogs dont really bother anyone. They mind their own business and it is a rearity for someone to see a frog in a normal everyday setting likr we sometimes see roaches and other gross bugs, and this is why i think kafka chose the roach for the story.
