This was quite comedic to me with a great moral, but that's it already

Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" is a short work of fiction from the short-lived, but ultimately influential, German author. The narrative follows a traveling salesman named Gregor Samsa, who awakes one morning transformed into a beetle-like creature, to the horror of his family. To Gregor, however, he is never particularly alarmed, and his revolving profession hints at his understanding towards change. A deeply physical piece, Kafka's story weaves alienation and isolation with human characters. By the time the story concludes - rather unceremoniously at that - Kafka has left the reader with a lot to ponder on.

Mad daddy issues.
Is the moral that his family leeches off of him, but when he becomes the leech they cannot handle it?
