The awkward feelings of isolation and public scorn that individuals felt who suffered mental illness in the first  part of the 20th century was seen in a number of events in Gregor Samsa's life. The way his family treated him, how he lost his job, and how he suffered alone in his room are many similarities to the fate of the  mentally ill.
THESIS
Gregor Samsa as a cockroach represents the undesired life of the severely depressed the modern day world.

Paragraph 1 body
TOPIC:
 Psychic break=> apparently a cockroach
Ev1:  locked in bed room
Ev 2:  loses job->scorned by father

Paragraph 2 body
TOPIC:
Isolation in family apartment
Ev1:  sister tries to help but can't understand  him
Ev 2: offered favorite foods, but can hardly eat

Paragraph 3 body
TOPIC :  shunned then suicide
Shunned by society then family, leading to his starvation/death
 Ev1 one last attempt to join the world at sister's violin recital but then shut out
Ev2 father tries to kill him/forces him to solitary confinement

Conclusion:  Even today our prisons are filled with the mentally ill.  Society's practice of isolating the insane, criminalizing their health, and locking them away from any outside influence keeps us all safe; except for the mentally ill themselves.
