Why Did Franz Lose His Life After Gregor's Transformation
Metamorphosis
If Gregor was to relive his life, he should try to escape the house instead of staying, since he brought the family down. When he became an insect, he lost his job, and the family no longer had a source of income, and they started to decline. However, keeping Gregor in the house meant the family couldn’t move to a cheaper home, seeing as they had no way to transport Gregor. Gregor’s father, his mother, and Grete all had to take on jobs and rent out Grete’s room to make enough money to stay stable. Grete was forced to clean Gregor’s room and feed him, as no one else would even try. Gregor might have even had a choice in being an insect or not. He could’ve made a mistake that caused the transformation.
Gregor staying in his home after his transformation caused his family to decline, seeing as they has to hide Gregor’s new form. However, without Gregor’s income, they couldn’t afford their home alone and had to rent out a room, since they couldn’t move with Gregor in his new form. “But the greatest complaint was always that they could not leave this apartment, which was The Metamorphosis 70 of 96 too big for their present means, since it was impossible to imagine how Gregor might be moved” (Kafka, 69-70) …show more content…
Grete and her mother went into Gregor’s room to remove some furniture so Gregor could crawl around.
But Gregor, seeing this, crawled up the wall and covered his favorite picture with his body to protect it. “Then he saw hanging conspicuously on the wall, The Metamorphosis 58 of 96 which was otherwise already empty, the picture of the woman dressed in nothing but fur. He quickly scurried up over it and pressed himself against the glass that held it in place and which made his hot abdomen feel good.” Gregor, however, should’ve come out a bit earlier and attempted to show them a sign that it was him in the body, not someone else. Such as perhaps using some supplies from his desk to write his family a note for Grete to see when she came in. (Kafka,
57-58)
Gregor would have wound up better if he had either left the house or tried to express to his family that is was still him. If he had left, the family would be able to move into a much smaller and cheaper home, one they could actually afford. But if he had shown his family who he was, they might have helped him return to his true form.
