Step-by-step explanation:

In Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis," Grete cares for his brother at first and becomes his main caretaker in spite of her disgust, and even tries to make him feel comfortable in his room. However, as she grows and becomes a woman, she begins to see that as chore rather than an act of kindness. In fact, it is Grete who decides that Gregor must die.
