Question

Describe how Gregor's insect-like body

changes from the opening of the story to the ending. (b) Interpret How
do these physical changes reflect Gregor's evolving emotional state

Answer 1

Gregor's physical form parallels his inner state. At first, Gregor is shocked and awkward in his new body. He has a hard time getting used to his many, skinny legs or his lack of teeth. However, with time alone in his room, he is able to start walking easily. He becomes comfortable in his new form.
