In Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis," Gregor Samsa resists having his furniture moved out because it symbolizes his connection to his former human life and identity. The furniture represents his past comforts and the remnants of his personal space, which he clings to even after his transformation into a vermin. Removing it would further alienate him from his humanity and exacerbate his sense of loss and isolation. Thus, maintaining his belongings becomes a struggle to preserve his sense of self amidst his drastic change.
