In "The Metamorphosis", by Franz Kafka, Gregor yearns to be free of his job and his family obligations. It seems as though his wish has been granted when he is transformed into an insect. He is forced to live within the confines of his room. One day he goes out of the room and his father throws apples at him. Some days later the cleaning lady finds Gregor dead in his room. After seeing him dead his father says "‘now we can give thanks to God." and his sister says "Finally." Then all three leave the apartment together. They talk about all having jobs now and how hopeful they feel. Then Mr. and Mrs. Samsa realize how their daughter has turned into a beautiful young woman. This is how they handle Gregor's death.
