1. Gregor’s family was so selfish because they were so used to only thinking about themselves. Also I don’t think that they thought of Gregor as family anymore.
2. Gregor is a more thoughtful and caring person compared to the rest of his family. The rest of his family only thinks about themselves.
3. I do not think they move the furniture in the room to kill him faster. They were actually being thoughtful when they did this. Grete noticed that Gregor liked to crawl around the room, so she thought that if she moves some things out of his room, then he would be happier. More than anything I think it would help him live a longer and happier life.
4. It seems that Gregor’s family does put some type of blame on him for his transformation. They are not very considerate of him. The only reason they even care, is because they no longer have the money that they used to.
5. Gregor is depressed by his family reaction because they are not there for him the way he wants them to be. They don’t want to see him or be around him. They act as if they can’t be in an enclosed room with him. The only true sadness they feel is the fact that they income is gone.
6. Gregor’s family really did not show any sadness at his death. It was more so relief than anything. They did not have this huge burden to worry about. They seemed happy when he died to me.
7. The bug Gregor has no similarities to the human Gregor, as far as his family is concerned. He cannot speak and he really just wonders around like a bug.
8. The Samsa’s don’t feel as if they lost Gregor their family member. They feel like they lost a bug that was burdening their lives. Gregor’s death was an opportunity for the Samsa’s to improve them as far as money goes.
9. Grete called Gregor a monster because she feels that he is nothing but work. He made her mother faint, and her father is always enraged with him.
10. Grete feels as if it is her duty to help out her family. Her parent’s income was not enough. She also was in search of a sense of responsibility.
