Answer:

We can infer that the character in this passage has been transformed into an insect.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • We are told that Gregor Samsa awoke from his slumber to discover that he has an "armor-like back" and "brown belly."
  • We are also given the imagery that he has several "pitifully thin" legs compared to the rest of his body.
  • This characterization allows us to decipher that Gregor was most likely a human and was then likely transformed into a roach or spider.
  • We are also told that he awoke from "troubled dreams". We can infer that Gregor's nightmare of becoming an insect may have manifested into his reality.

Please let me know if this helped!!!
