“Not until it was twilight did Gregor awake out of a deep sleep…” The opening line of section II. Twilight in its exact definition is “the soft glowing light from the sky when the sun is below the horizon, caused by the refraction and scattering of the sun's rays from the atmosphere.” Twilight is beautiful and a rare time of the day that not everyone necessarily sees, and yet Kafka chose to use it; not dawn or dusk, but twilight. I think there’s underlying symbolism for this rare thing happening to Gregor during this rare period of time. The use of the words “deep sleep” catches your eye, and at first you're not sure why, but the subtle rhyming helps emphasize the sentence stand out. It’s not like it’s a poem, or a rhyming narrative, so this small different wording makes it important, which in the storyline, it is.
