Question

How does Gregor Samsa’s identity change as the novella progresses? In what ways does he keep his humanity?

Answer 1

Answer:

- he takes his managers words less seriously -more independent and was able to take care of his family

Explanation:

In the first chapter, Gregor is most concerned about keeping his job and defending himself against the accusations of his manager. Although he is surprised and offended by the harsh words of the manager, which do not reflect well on Gregor's work performance, He realized that he must not, on any account, let the manager go in this mood if his position in the firm was not to be put at risk in the extreme. The manager must be arrested, calmed down, convinced, and finally won; the future of Gregor and his family depended on him. His identity seems so bound up with his job, as if he had no value or value without his ability to make money for his family, but Gregor clearly cares deeply about his family and their well-being. He knows that they depend on him, and he wants to make them secure. These relation ships form a major part of his identity.

Answer 2

Answer:

Plato Answer

Explanation:

Your answer might include some of these points:

Although Gregor Samsa has physically changed into an insect, he retains some of his human feelings, such as love, compassion, and responsibility.

No longer the breadwinner of the family, he now must depend on others to feed him.

His desire to see his mother and the expectation of receiving his sister’s kindness stays alive, even though he hides from his family.

He notices that his sister finds his presence disturbing, and so he stays under a sheet whenever she enters his room.

Although he prefers eating stale food now, he appreciates the fact that his sister takes the trouble to bring food to him.

As a giant insect, Gregor prefers to stay under the couch and crawl around his room.

When his sister wants to vacate his room, to give him more space to move around, he feels dejected. The furniture and the painting in his room are the only reminders that he was once human. He feels torn between his physical and emotional needs. His human feelings take control when he tries to stop his mother and sister from taking the framed photograph off the wall.
