Kafka, The Metamorphosis

How is Gregor’s family transformed in the wake of his metamorphosis?

This piece or story resonated to me personally, after having 6 surgeries between 2016 to 2020. I love it, not in a sense of what happened to Gregor, instead of how the Author exposed the truth of society or family after losing your status and showing no love and you don’t matter at all to them, regarding of what you have accomplished. I am surprised that his parent wasn’t supportive at his side during his transformation period issue. Gregor’s family was ungrateful towards him for let him die alone after transformation, especially he was for them their source of income that support all of them. His parents did not need to go to work and was helping his sister on her gold, His father turned back on him and influenced the rest of the family to do so by isolated him after transforming into a giant but, they want to stay away from him. That was one of the reason Gregor died from starvation and couldn’t supported the hatred of his family towards him.

Explain your understanding of Gregor’s death.  How/why does he ultimately die?

My understanding of his death was humiliating, whoever that got into the same situation would die quickly as him. Because the level of support losing from your family, it’s like losing half of your soul while you thought you meant for them. He ultimately dies because he was alone, isolate in his room, not getting love of his family. Imagine been the one that was always showing support and suddenly your life change and losing your ability to provide or understand, it will shock you to death
