By referring to them as "his mother and his father" the reader can feel more close to the character. When saying "the mother and the father" one can relate less, feel distance between one and those parents. On the other hand, when saying "his mother and his father" the reader feels a little more close to the situation, feels deeper the relationship and can ever reflect him or herself in the character.

Answer:

The nuances of this question are too complex to address in a few lines. However, one could safely say, following the story and, especially, Gregor´s transformation into some sort of bug, that referring to the parents as the mother and the father, as opposed to his father and his mother, gives the reference a more impersonal tone, which is quite fitting with Gregor´s transformation and subsequent alienation from his family, most notably, his father and mother.

Highlight evidence of magic realism.
Marianna [84]

Instances of magic realism in the passage with explanations are listed down.

Explanation:

<em />

<em>"Her husband </em>

<em>emerges from the light and comes toward </em>

<em>her, taller than the palms, walking on water"</em>

<em />

This part of the passage employs the technique of magic realism.

It is when the improbable things like myths, legends, larger than life comparisons are interspersed in a realistic narrative so as to make sense of things that do not otherwise make much sense.

Here, the woman does not believe her eyes when her husband appears in the skyline so the imagery that describes his appearance is used in this way to convey the magical emotion.
