Explanation:

Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis tells the story oh how a traveling salesman was one day turned into a bug / insect. The plot delves into the nature of humans as a whole and also how alienating society can be to particular people.

The two genres of fiction that the story contains are surrealism and allegory. Surrealism is the dreamlike situation or quality of a given story where the characters feel like they are in a dream but the situation is real. And that is exactly how Gregor Samsa felt in the beginning. Allegory is when a story has a particular message or meaning to it. In this case, the allegory is such that the story delves into the alienation of people in society, not only Gregor in the story but humans in general.
