Being considered insects symbolises a return to a lower state in a world that perceives us as insignificant creatures. This condition represents exclusion from the system, which occurs as we begin to understand and distinguish ourselves from the masses.

Alienation and loneliness
The concept of being seen as insects extends to family relationships and society, leading to a feeling of isolation and misunderstanding. This kind of alienation is a central theme in the works of Kafka and Burroughs, where characters struggle against an oppressive and indifferent world.

Inner freedom
Despite exclusion and loneliness, a profound assertion of freedom emerges in the text of ‘Insects’ with the expression ‘I can breathe’. This passage represents a claim to inner space and the ability to find meaning even in a hostile context. It is an act of personal rebellion, a way of affirming that, despite everything, one still possesses control over one's inner existence.
