Metamorphosis- a major change in the appearance or character of someone or something.

When I came across this word I already had a slight idea of what was being said. It was mentioned in the sentence stating, ” This one shows the opening or Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis”. As you can see, the sentence that this word is in doesn’t actually give the reader a sense of it’s meaning because it’s being referred to as the name of a novel. After researching this word I was given more clarity.
