Some circumstances in Gregor's life before the actual metamorphosis occurred that may have dehumanized him were his work and home situations. At work as a traveling salesman, Gregor is at the bottom of the corporate ladder, and is at the mercy of everyone, customers and bosses alike. If a customer does not think Gregor is up to par, he will simply not buy Gregor's products. And if Gregor is not meeting his quota, then his boss can fire him.
With his family, Gregor is an outsider. He is always on business trips, and rarely has time to spend at home. His family feels like they barely know him. He is also the family's main source of income. Despite this, they treat him less than lovingly.
