Is the question from you, personally or is it a question you're doing for school? 
I'm guessing the story has large vocab and it's hard to interpret the story?

The Metamorphosis is, in fact, full of untranslatable terms  (beginning with its title, Die Verwandlung, which as Bernofsky points out in her translator’s note “does not suggest a natural change of state” in the way the English “metamorphosis” does).
