Hey there! Sometimes setting can be in another country, or even world, which may effect their ethnicity. Also, time can effect a person. It changes the way they dress, eat, sleep, and live everyday life. Like for instance, say you had a man who lived in america in the 2010s era. You would assume he would be of american ethnicity or have at least a bit of civilian in them, and they would usually dress in a t-shirt and jeans, with a nice pair of shoes. Now say you had someone from Arabia in the 1900s. He would be of Arabian ethnicity, and he would more than likely be wearing a sort of robe to keep the sand off of his body. Also, place can effect the animals they interact with. Say, for instance, the Arabian man had a stead. More than likely it would be a Camel. If the american had a stead, it would more likely be a donkey, horse, or mule. Also, because of the animals they interact with being different, they would also eat different food. Say for instance, the American. More than likely, he would eat Pork, Beef, or even Bacon. But if you had someone from Ireland or Scotland they would more than likely eat Lamb Chops, or even Liver. This sometimes effects the lifespan of the characters, depending on how healthy the food is. See, setting is a lot more important in stories than people think. These are only some of the many ways setting effects the way the narrator views the civilian. Hope this helped!
Thanks!

Answer:
Gregor
Even though Gregor is the only character to undergo a physical transformation, he experiences perhaps the least emotional growth of all the characters. That’s not to say he doesn’t evolve, though. He changes somewhat when he starts putting his own wants and desires over those of his family. He basks in the joy of freedom and escape from responsibility, and he spends hours hanging from the ceiling enjoying himself. He even learns to stand up for himself. At one point, he attempts to defend his belongings when Grete tries to get rid of them. He also tries to obtain human pleasure by listening to his sister play the violin. However, his story has a sad ending. He seems to return to his self-sacrificing ways by dying so that he will no longer be a burden to his family, leaving them free to prosper.
Mr. Samsa
Gregor’s metamorphosis brings about a metamorphosis in his parents, especially his father. Prior to Gregor’s change, his father was a decrepit old man who never got dressed and who could hardly walk. However, after Gregor’s transformation, his father is overcome with newfound confidence. He gets a job as a bank messenger and never takes off his new blue uniform. Gregor’s death strengthens his father further, empowering him to stand up to the lodgers and the charwoman.
Mrs. Samsa
Mrs. Samsa is sympathetic to Gregor during his crisis, although she seems unable to relate to him or even tolerate his presence. She displays both nervous and sentimental behavior while Gregor is alive. For example, she faints upon seeing him but tries to prevent her husband from killing him. His death seems to loosen her up, and she accompanies her husband and daughter on their family vacation. She even manages to get a job for herself as a seamstress in an underwear company.
Grete
Grete undergoes significant change over the course of the story. She starts off taking care of and protecting Gregor when he’s transformed into an insect. Later, she grows tired of him and begins to resent him. She starts neglecting him and encourages the family to get rid of him. Gregor’s transformation and death has a liberating effect on her. All her life, she had been dependent on him for everything. However, after he changes, she becomes more independent and starts taking on more responsibility. She gets a job as a salesgirl and starts learning shorthand and French to improve her future prospects. The story ends on a promising note for Grete, who can now look forward to getting married and starting a new life.
