Answer 2

The correct answers are: Emotional but weak, Gregor's sister Grete. Unsympathetic and overbearing, Mr. Samsa. Compassionate yet distant, Mrs. Samsa. Patient and forgiving, Gregor Samsa .

Emotional but weak, Gregor's sister Grete. In the beginning, it is supposed that Greta has a real relationship with her brother Gregor. She tries to play the role of the sister. But time passes and Greta considers Gregor a burden in her life.

Unsympathetic and overbearing, Mr. Samsa. Once, Mr. Samsa hoped the best from Gregor, thinking he would be the support needed for the family. But with his son’s transformation, Mr. Samsa is rude and tough on him.

Compassionate yet distant is Mrs. Samsa. The mother supposedly shows compassion to Gregor, although she doesn’t like his appearance.  

Patient and forgiving, Gregor Samsa. Gregor is confused and sad due to his new form. He has patience about his condition and expects his father, mother, and sister understand him. He does not hate them. To the opposite, he forgives them.
