great works ii – 2850 jta 12:25-2:05: love letters from the world

I disagree with the idea that Mr. Samsa was angry with Gregor, on the initial discovery of his metamorphosis, initially he “clenched his fists with a pugnacious expression” which is an understandable reaction to such a discovery, and afterwards he “covered his eyes with his hands and cried, his mighty chest shaking with sobs” again there was no anger towards Gregor, only disbelief in the condition of his son. From what i grasped, Gregor’s father was more sorrowful then angry. And his father was chasing, and threatening to strike Gregor only when he “must have put the worst possible construction on Crete’s all to brief account, and supposed that Gregor gad perpetrated some act of violence.” Mr. Samsa was only trying to defend his family from Gregor, which was so little and still caused much havoc in the household.  Mr. Samsa regained his composure when his wife woke up from her faint and encouraged him to leave Gregor go back in his room.
