Title A name given to the resource Gregor's Couch Subject The topic of the resource The couch in Gregor's room from Kafka's "Metamorphosis." Description An account of the resource This couch is a stylish couch for the time, with a carved wooden frame and decorative red upholstery. It is small enough to fit into a bedroom, but its wooden legs lift up the seat enough that Gregor can fit underneath in his insect form. This couch becomes Gregor's main place of refuge in the "Metamorphosis," allowing him to hide from the sight of his mother and sister even when they are in his room. Though it is one of the only pieces of furniture that remains to remind him of his humanity, it is also the main tool that he uses to hide himself from the rest of humanity .
