Plot Summary: Do not cut/ paste from a website, which is a form of plagiarism.
One morning, Gregor Samsa wakes up as a giant bug, and soon realizes he has missed his train and will be late for work. His father, mother, and sister knock at the door and ask about his condition. He assures them he feels fine, but soon his manager arrives at his house, accuses Gregor of being lazy, and upsets the whole family. Eventually, Gregor crawls over to the door and terrifies everyone with his new physique. After chasing him around the room, his father locks him inside his room, and the whole family learns to change their routines to provide for him. His sister, Grete, bring him two meals a day, as Gregor adjusts to his new form. To accommodate his crawling tendencies, one day his family decides to move the furniture out of his room; however, Gregor disapproves and perches himself on the furniture so that it might remain. This scares his mother and causes her to pass out, which …show more content…
Only his sister Grete goes into his room at first to feed him and clean, so human contact is unlikely and scarce. Gregor feels separated from his family and from humanity with his distorted features and new senses. His room serves as his “imprisonment” and resembles a cage for an animal, and he cannot intellectually communicate with any of his family members. Therefore, he is trapped within this insect body, lacking compassion and recognition from others. It seems as if Gregor has been lonely his whole life with his absence of real relationships and his travelling work, as he is “constantly seeing new faces, no relationships that last or get more intimate” (940). His division from his family and human emotions becomes even more apparent near the end of the novel with his longing to “disappear,” a belief even “firmer than his sister’s”
