"The Metamorphosis" Chapter 2

In the Metamorphosis the Samsa family both benefit and harm eachother. As things become clear to the Samsa's that Gregor is actually an insect they become more understanding but in a different type of way. Gregor's sister was sensitive in a way that she would do anythin for her brother and she understood most of what her brother Gregor was going through. She knew not to bother looking at him so it wouldn't disturb her in anyway or give her second thoughts about coming into his room. In this way Gregor got his food every day, once in the morning, when his parents and the servant girl were still asleep, and a second time after the common noon meal, for his parents were, as before, asleep then for a little while. She always cattered to his needs. She later had grown somewhat accustomed to everything.

Things suddenly began to change when Gregor was actually moving around and getting used to his new self and his room. His sister noticed immediately the new amusement which Gregor had found for himself--for as he crept around he left behind here and there traces of his sticky stuff and so she got the idea of making Gregor's creeping around as easy as possible and thus of removing the furniture which got in the way, especially the chest of drawers and the writing desk. She eventually knew his walkways in his room and what he had been doing and she thought by taking furniture out that it would help him get around easier but he liked his things the way they were. And by involving Gregor's mother made it even worst because by her trying to help move things cause a big scene because Gregor liked evreything about his room and the furniture meant a lot to him being that it's been there since he was a child.

In the Novella the exception of one event, the plot is almost humdrum in its realistic description of family tensions and economic worries. The neutral tone of the story also reinforces the feeling that the Samsas are a normal family. Theres too much to say about my family life....
