What circumstances in Gregor's life might have caused him to feel dehumanized even before the metamorphosis took place?
Some circumstances that may have made him feel dehumanized before the transformation of how he was treated at work. One thing at work that may make him feel dehumanized was the fact that his boss talked down to him like he was better than him and like he was a worthless vermin. Also his coworkers treat him the same way. I don't fully understand why he is working their other than that he is paying off a debt for his parents. And even though he hasn't missed a day of work in over five years as soon as he is late for work the company sends a man to his house to see why he isn't at work.
Other things that may have made him feel dehumanized before his metamorphosis is the fact that since he was so punctual whenever he would slip up he would be immediately questioned about it. Also he may have thought that he was being used by his parents since the only reason he was working at his job was to pay off his parents debt.
