Answer 2

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?

Answer 3

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).
