When Gregor died, he was transformed into a big insect. From then on, the story continues. Gregor had not realized that he was dead.  They were so dependent on him. His passing had changed the way they looked at life. They were able to get jobs and the same time learned to use money wisely. They were able to save some of Gregor's saving and from their father's failed business.

After Gregor is fatally wounded by his father’s apple attack and dies of starvation, the reader no longer sees the events of the story from his perspective. It’s interesting to note that while Gregor is alive, his parents are referred to as “Gregor’s mother” and “Gregor’s father.” However, after his death, the narrator starts referring to them as “Mrs. Samsa” and “Mr. Samsa,” perhaps to symbolize that Gregor is not only dead but also forgotten. Without Gregor, there’s a renewed zest for life and hopefulness in the family. They start looking forward to the future and dreaming again. For example, all three of them are finally able to find and maintain jobs that hold “particularly good promise for the future.” Mr. and Mrs. Samsa start noticing Grete and her youthfulness. They notice how she’s growing livelier and more beautiful as the days pass. The story ends on a hopeful note for the Samsa family, with the two parents thinking about their daughter’s marriage, which opens up a world of new beginnings and possibilities.

Kafka might have chosen to include this section after Gregor dies to demonstrate how the entire family was overly reliant on Gregor for their well-being and livelihood. After his death, they’re able to go out in the world and make independent names and livelihoods for themselves. In a way, his death sets them free from the crippling trap of dependency.

There are marked changes in the tone and mood of the story after Gregor’s death. In contrast to the bleak, tense atmosphere of most of the story, images of spring and sunshine appear at the end of the story. This shift restores a sense of normalcy and suggests a sense of optimism.

In general, what is Huck Finn's attitude toward people he disagrees with?
attashe74 [19]
In general Huck is a character who tends to separate himself from people he disagrees with. If someone thinks something in a different way than he does, Huck will be grim about it and won't have the desire for that person to be near him or he won't even listen to them. Often it happens that he has to do it even if he doesn't want to.
