Just all the stuff about Gregor and how his metamorphosis into an insect mimics what he thinks about himself- that he is stuck in a boring job and is unloved. just basically what everybody is feeling and how does gregor’s mind work- or Kafka’s?
You can find a very simple, but detailed description of psychological literary criticism in the online lecture notes of Vincent Piro, an English instructor at Merced College in California at: http://www.mccd.edu/faculty/pirov/Engl1B/Psychological_files/frame.htm I highly recommend taking a look at this one, as Mr. Piro’s definition is very clear. He also includes examples and tips for what you should look for as the reader.
If you should find yourself needing more information on ‘The Metamorphosis’, try these online study guides:

Your local library will also have a number of resources on hand that can help you with this assignment.
Good luck!
