Gregor Samsa, turns into a giant insect. He clings to the framed photograph of the woman in fur when his sister and mother start removing furniture from his room. This action symbolizes the emotional comfort that his possessions represent in his former life as human. He was unable to relinquish his humanity which led him to cling to the picture.
