The issue of differences in social and economic classes are be critiqued in The Metamorphosis. Gregor's family is lower class, and he works for a boss that is in a higher socioeconomic class than he is. Gregor has no power to stand up to this boss or to do anything that his boss would not like. "The Red Scare" relates to this because McCarthy was targeting the opinions of the mid and lower classes.
