Question

Read the following passage from the beginning of the story: Milk like this was normally his favourite drink, and his sister had certainly left it there for him because of that. . . . Read the following passage from the end of the story: Gregor's sister no longer thought about how she could please him but would hurriedly push some food or other into his room with her foot before she rushed out to work in the morning and at midday, and in the evening she would sweep it away again with the broom, indifferent as to whether it had been eaten or — more often than not — had been left totally untouched. What change in Grete does Kafka show between these two passages?

A. Grete has become happier to care for her brother's needs.

Answer 2

In these two different passages from the book “The Metamorphosis” by Kafka, we can see a shift from Greta’s attitude towards her brother at the beginning and at the end of the story. At the beginning, Greta is willing to help his brother Gregorio when is he is transformed in an insect. But at the end, Greta starts working to support her family and she does not longer care about her brother and proposes to let Gregorio die. So option C) “Grete is growing irritated and disgusted by her brother” is correct.
