Question

What does it say about Gregor that, after his transformation, no one comes to check on him other than an official from his employer? What does this fact reveal about Gregor’s life before his transformation? Cite evidence from the text to support your response.

Answer 1

The fact that no one comes to visit or check on Gregor after his transformation suggests that Gregor was just as lonely and isolated before his transformation as after. Considering that Gregor no longer leaves his home, it’s surprising that he doesn’t have any friends check on him. The only people outside the family to check on him are an official from work and the maid. This lack of visitors shows that Gregor is actually somewhat used to the isolation and loneliness he experiences after his transformation.

Gregor's father, incensed, forces him back into the room, raging at him. The transformation has not only affected Gregor, but has impacted his entire family, as he is the sole breadwinner. This change upsets his parents, in particular his father, because Gregor has been attempting to pay off his father's debts.
