From Kafka's description, it is easy to see that the protagonist is an instinctive humanized animal. Although the narrator has extraordinary intellect and would do everything to make the burrow secure, however, all this does not fundamentally eliminate the uneasiness of the narrator. The description of his psychological anxiety is Comprising almost half of the story.In order to avoid those potential invaders, having a completed control over the burrow, the narrator thinking, “If I only had someone I could trust to keep watch at post of observation; then of course I could descend in perfect peace of mind”. （p.366) But the what if they want the benefit, or they want to get into my burrow? “I must let him go in first by himself, which is simply unimaginable, or we must both descend at the same time, in which case the advantage I am supposed to derive from him, that of being kept watch over, would be lost”.(p.366) Even though the narrator keeps saying the word "trust" and want to find someone he trusts he still needs to keep watch over, “It is comparatively easy to trust anyone if you are supervising him or at least can supervise him…” (p.366) In Kafka's story, the animal never stops thinking and reasoning, it reasonable to assume that the story is not about the animal but the human self.
