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 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,
