Answer:

The allegory of The Metamorphosis is the idea that modern society isolates humans from one another

Step-by-step explanation:

It was published during World War I, when there was a lot going on in politics and society. It was a time of heavy industrialization. In Kafka's writing, you can see a commentary on the isolation many writers felt was a by-product of how modern society was developing at the time.
