Metamorphosis Ticket

In a modern world, can one find sanctuary? If so, where?
I think it is possible for a person to find sanctuary in a modern world, but as time passes sanctuaries change, and as responsibilities increase it is harder to find true sanctuary. In Metamorphosis, Gregor's room had been his sanctuary growing up. He had always had the same furniture and he framed a picture he could look at and dream about. When he was home from traveling for work he could go there and find some form of peace, but after he transforms into a bug, the sanctuary that been his bedroom turns into a prison of sorts. He cannot go out for fear of getting hit with a cane or apple, and the room begins to feel too small for him. It is not a place of comfort anymore. It is a place where he just exists out of the way of others. Plus, with Gregor's family dependent on him working, his confinement to his room allows him to hear his family discussing the woes of their financial situation. He had been the provider, but then he transformed and was confined to his room knowing that the rest of his family would have to work and struggle to get by. His sister would not be able to go to the school like he had planned. The knowledge of the people he has let down by transforming into a bug constantly weighs on his mind and prevents him from finding sanctuary because he cannot escape his thoughts.
