How does each family member react to Gregor after his transformation?What is different about each reaction? What is similar?

What will be an ideal response?



  • Each of the family members acts differently to him although they all feel ashamed of his condition. His sister initially shows the most concern for him. Her loving care sustains him, and when she abandons him (in Part III), he loses his grip on life. Gregor’s mother is full of sympathy for her son but, old and asthmatic, she is ineffective in helping or defending him. Gregor’s father lacks all compassion for his son’s situation. He mercilessly drives Gregor back into his room the first two times he emerges. He resents having to work again, and subsequent events suggest that he had earlier been exploiting his son by forcing Gregor to pay off the family debts.
