Chapter 3 Questions
3. I do not think they move the furniture in Gregor’s room to kill him faster but to give him more free space to climb on the walls and all around his room.
5. He feels depressed at his family’s reaction toward him because he now views himself as a burden to the family rather than feeling proud because he was trying to work off the debt.
6. It seems like Gregor’s family does not feel sadness at his death, however, they feel sad that Gregor died but not the bug.
8. Gregor’s family gets over Gregor very quickly because ever since he turned into a bug they have not viewed him as Gregor, they have just viewed him as being “gone” so his death does not really have an affect on them.
11. The family is quieter at meal times because they don’t really know what to say or how to react to what has happened to Gregor. They probably want to act like a normal family again but for them, it is hard to get over the fact that Gregor is a bug and so they are speechless at times.
12. Gregor stops eating because he feels extremely depressed and he’s lost his will to survive. He no longer has the support from his sister and never really had any from his parents; therefore, he feels like giving up.
14. Grete doesn’t just all of the sudden start playing her violin, she does it to entertain the 3 lodgers who are staying at their home. She has been playing for a while and her parents even wanted to send her to a violin school.
18. Gregor has been in his room for several months before he dies.
20. Grete did not get a job before because she is only 17 and could not get one. She wants to help the family now so she decides to get a job. She wants to be like Gregor and take responsibility.
21. The maid finds Gregor because none of the other family members want to care for Gregor or go into his room and see him dead. Overall, the family completely ignores Gregor and the affect his death has on them is nothing.
