Question

Kafka believed that his father dissapproved of him. Which excerpt from the passage best suggests that Gregor’s father views his son in the same way ?

Answer 1

A. You women wouldn't listen.

Step-by-step explanation:

Franz Kafka's novella "The Metamorphosis" tells the very unfortunate story of Gregor Samsa who had transformed into a bug. From then on, his life had completely changed, rendering him helpless and unable to care for himself. He eventually died in the end, after leading his family through some unfortunate events.

The writer Kafka had always believed that his own father disapproved of him. This was also reflected in this story where Gregor was also at the end of his father's anger and annoyance. The scene where his mother and sister were moving things like furniture and pictures from his room shows this point.

Gregor's mother and sister had moved some of the furniture around to make more space but his mother hadn't really seen him in his bug 'body'. So, when he saw a "picture of the woman dressed in nothing but fur", he stayed/ clung to that picture leading to his discovery by his mother. This was too shocking for her and she fainted right away. hen his father returned home from work, his sister Grete told him that it was because Gregor had gotten loose. This prompted him to finally admit that they (women) wouldn't listen to what he had always told them about Gregor as a useless being for them as a bug.

Answer 2

Kafka believed that his father disapproved of him, the excerpt from "The Metamorphosis" that best suggests that Gregor's father views his son in the same way, is A. you women wouldn't listen. Gregor's mother has just fainted. His father has come back home, and Grete tells him that "Gregor has broken loose". His father misunderstands these words and says that he has warned both women. He understood, by Grete's message that Gregor had committed some violent crime, so it is clear that Gregor's father disapproved of him.
