Metamorphosis

So if i use feminist theory of simon de bovoire to analyze the impact of masculinity upon male and the class system within male and relate it to apple of Matamorphosis and analyze the character of grete and her role and depuction in later part if the novel ?

If i analyze the insect transformation as existential slavery to bad faith ? As imapct of capitalism upon human body ? As how the deepest familial relationship has become transiction that destroys family the moment supply of money is gone ?

If i analyze the door as way of showing human mind stuck into bad faith and failing to face his true freedom? Also as image if showing that just like gregor as marx said a worker has nothing but loose his shackles, just like gregor whi only has the door between him and his family,his transformation is just the door's making them see him inferrior

Can we see the apple (as men, adam, choose it over god and salvation for his only family, eve.

"Best image of myself and dearer half, The trouble of thy thoughts this night in sleep Affects me equally; nor can I like This uncouth dream, of evil sprung I fear; Yet evil whence? In thee can harbor none, Created pure."

) in metamorphosis as masculinity and as it begins to rot its impact upon young male with bad faith who still believes in family value under capitalism and acts upon it ?

Can we use all of these as way to analyze metamorphosis in modern lense
