The Underland
The "Underland" is a subterranean realm populated by semi- albino humans and large, intelligent rodents, insects, and other creatures; though not all Underland creatures are sentient. It is located under New York, with most of its entrances leading out to what is now New York City. In the first novel, a character named Vikus tells Gregor (the protagonist) that the Underland humans are descended from a group of "Overlanders" who, led by a man named Bartholomew of Sandwich, settled underground over a period of some fifty years. Sandwich was a self-styled prophet who believed that a great tragedy would one day befall all those living on the surface, and convinced his devoted followers to establish an underground community long before the event could happen. Gregor never finds out exactly when this migration took place. In Gregor and the Marks of Secret, Gregor discovers that Underland children know the old song "Bat, Bat, Come Under my Hat", suggesting that it was carried down by their Overland ancestors. This song is an actual poem, which some sources claim was developed by a group known as the Conch, who were early Bahamian settlers of Florida. Other sources state that it is an English folk rhyme, so old that its author is unknown.

The Underland
The "Underland" is a subterranean realm populated by semi- albino humans and large, intelligent rodents, insects, and other creatures; though not all Underland creatures are sentient. It is located under New York, with most of its entrances leading out to what is now New York City. In the first novel, a character named Vikus tells Gregor (the protagonist) that the Underland humans are descended from a group of "Overlanders" who, led by a man named Bartholomew of Sandwich, settled underground over a period of some fifty years. Sandwich was a self-styled prophet who believed that a great tragedy would one day befall all those living on the surface, and convinced his devoted followers to establish an underground community long before the event could happen. Gregor never finds out exactly when this migration took place. In Gregor and the Marks of Secret, Gregor discovers that Underland children know the old song "Bat, Bat, Come Under my Hat", suggesting that it was carried down by their Overland ancestors. This song is an actual poem, which some sources claim was developed by a group known as the Conch, who were early Bahamian settlers of Florida.

Like the rest of the Underlanders, Luxa is described as having platinum blonde hair and violet eyes, with skin so translucent that you can see the veins underneath. Her voice is described as cold, clear, and foreign. When she was first introduced, her hair was woven in an intricate braid down her back and, if let down, reached her waist. Later on, however, Luxa cuts off her hair before joining the " questers " to fulfill The Prophecy of Gray, leaving it so short that Gregor initially mistakes her as a boy. When Gregor asks why she cut her hair, she simply states that long hair is dangerous to have in battle. In The Curse of the Warmbloods, she has a new scar running from her left temple to her chin.

 Ripred becomes fond of Gregor's sister Lizzie, who reminds him of one of his deceased pups, and bonds with Queen Luxa in part because of his concern for her and her family. Luxa: The Underlanders' young queen, granddaughter of Solovet and Vikus. Luxa is proud, stubborn, and cares deeply for her friends. Though her friend Gregor admires these traits in general, they are not an asset for her during wartime, and this causes some conflict for her in Gregor and the Code of Claw. Luxa has been bonded to the flier Aurora since childhood, and bonds to the rat Ripred at the end of the novel. She also begins to develop romantic feelings for Gregor.

 Gregor is desperate to keep his family safe, so he extracts a promise from Ripred to protect them and keep them in the dark about Gregor's impending doom. While Lizzie works on (and ultimately solves) the code, Gregor fights the Bane 's armies, struggling all the while to cope with his emotions about Luxa and Sandwich's prophecy. Shortly before his final confrontation with the Bane, Gregor has all but lost hope for his life. Noticing this, Ripred tells him that he doesn't believe Gregor has to die, because the old rat has never believed in Sandwich's prophetic ability. This revelation inspires Gregor to ultimately defeat the unstable Bane. Two weeks later, a wounded Gregor awakens in the hospital and learns of a series of crushing events. Though the humans routed the rats, Ares died in the Firelands of wounds inflicted by the Bane; Ripred is presumed dead; and Vikus has been partially paralyzed by a stroke brought on by his wife's death. Though Gregor no longer feels bound by it, many Underlanders wonder how the prophecy can be fulfilled while "the warrior" lives.

Abstract
Background
Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a painful, chronic inflammatory skin disease. Global estimates of prevalence vary between 0.03% and 4% of the population. Our main aim was to determine HS prevalence in the Australian adult population focussing on the demographics, management pathways and diagnosis rate of individuals living with HS. Methods
In this population-based cross-sectional study, 17,050 individuals representative of the Australian adult population were asked through face-to-face household interviews to answer a previously validated HS screening questionnaire with high diagnostic power.

 Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods
After waiting months for word on Luxa and his friends, Gregor finally receives a call for help from Vikus, telling him that The Prophecy of Blood has come. After learning that Ares has the plague, Gregor becomes determined to travel back to the Underland. Gregor's mother, however, refuses to let him go until Ripred tells them that Gregor and Boots are only needed for a brief meeting. She finally relents, on the condition that she can attend the meeting with them. While there, however, an infected bat crashes in and ultimately infects Gregor's mother. Desperate to save her and his friends, Gregor sets out to find the cure, which is believed to be in the Vineyard of Eyes, located in the center of a dense jungle. Once he and the other questers arrive at the edge of the jungle, they encounter a troubled man named Hamnet, his Halflander son, Hazard, and their hisser companion, Frill. Hamnet then guides the party through the jungle and after managing through poison arrow frogs, intense hunger and thirst, carnivorous plants, and quicksand, the questers discover Luxa and Aurora, alive and living with a colony of nibblers. After healing Aurora, they all continue to the Vineyard of Eyes, where they are soon attacked by a colony of cutters. During the fight, the cure is destroyed and Hamnet and Frill are killed.

After learning that Ares has the plague, Gregor becomes determined to travel back to the Underland. Gregor's mother, however, refuses to let him go until Ripred tells them that Gregor and Boots are only needed for a brief meeting. She finally relents, on the condition that she can attend the meeting with them. While there, however, an infected bat crashes in and ultimately infects Gregor's mother. Desperate to save her and his friends, Gregor sets out to find the cure, which is believed to be in the Vineyard of Eyes, located in the center of a dense jungle. Once he and the other questers arrive at the edge of the jungle, they encounter a troubled man named Hamnet, his Halflander son, Hazard, and their hisser companion, Frill. Hamnet then guides the party through the jungle and after managing through poison arrow frogs, intense hunger and thirst, carnivorous plants, and quicksand, the questers discover Luxa and Aurora, alive and living with a colony of nibblers. After healing Aurora, they all continue to the Vineyard of Eyes, where they are soon attacked by a colony of cutters. During the fight, the cure is destroyed and Hamnet and Frill are killed.

 Ares is heralded as a hero upon his death in the region known as Tartarus. Ripred: A rat, rager, and seasoned warrior. Ripred 's immense experience and wisdom lead to his acting as general, strategist, and skilled fighter for the humans. Ripred never loses sight of his own goals, however, which almost restarts the human-gnawer conflict after the end of their war. Ripred becomes fond of Gregor's sister Lizzie, who reminds him of one of his deceased pups, and bonds with Queen Luxa in part because of his concern for her and her family. Luxa: The Underlanders' young queen, granddaughter of Solovet and Vikus. Luxa is proud, stubborn, and cares deeply for her friends. Though her friend Gregor admires these traits in general, they are not an asset for her during wartime, and this causes some conflict for her in Gregor and the Code of Claw.

On Translating Kafka’s “The Metamorphosis” Many, too many; just as Gregor, lying on his back in the story’s opening sentences, discovers he has “these many little legs” waving in the air above him. Both are physical correlatives of a life that has gotten out of hand. Kafka is not even particularly attentive to the continuity of his cast of characters. Early on in the story we see the maid give notice and flee, only to find her still working in the household several pages later and in fact doing all the cooking, since now it is the cook who quit. Except for the charwoman who plays a starring role in the penultimate scenes, the household help is just part of the furniture of the story, like the cabinet that gets shifted to another room. Even the main characters tend to appear categorically, named only by their functions: “ father,” “mother,” “sister.” Only one of them gets a name, Grete (rhymes with beta ), but even she is usually referred to only as “sister” throughout, until the decisive moment near the end when she becomes instead a “daughter.” By defining all these characters through their relationship to Gregor, Kafka slyly allows Gregor’s point of view to dominate the story even when he is not actually present in the scene being described.

Conflict In Metamorphosis
In the short story �The Metamorphosis� by Franz Kafka, there are two main kinds of conflict. The first is external conflict, which involves the protagonist against an opposing external force, and can be seen between the main character, Gregor, and his family members. The second, internal conflict, is usually seen as man versus himself, which can be seen in Gregor, his sister, Grete, and the family as a whole. These different conflicts within a story usually lead up to the climax and entice the action of the story to really get going. Franz Kafka suggests that the outcome of the main conflict between Gregor and his family is hopeful for both sides by including the numerous conflicts that ...

the furniture out, especially since she has �grown accustomed to consider herself an expert in Gregor�s affairs�� (p. 142). It seems as if the conflict is centered on the Samsa women wanting to be the �mother figure� or �caretaker� of Gregor. Due to the fact that Gregor�s mother was so �ill at ease� (p.142) being in his bedroom, the conflict is quickly settled as Mrs. Samsa quietly gives in and starts helping Grete move the chest and other pieces of furniture out of Gregor�s bedroom. Another situation involving external conflict occurs between Gregor and Grete. Kafka writes that �...she was so startled that without being able to help it she slammed the door shut again.

She is the same age as Gregor and will assume full royal powers when she becomes sixteen-years-old. Luxa is a smart, rebellious, and an excellent fighter. She is also a wise leader, though sometimes sharp-tongued towards others. When Gregor first encounters her, he thinks she is arrogant and haughty, but her personality changes greatly after the death of her cousin and close friend Henry. Sometime between the end of Book 2 and the start of Book 3, she becomes trapped in the Jungle because her bond Aurora dislocates her wing and can not be moved. Afterwards she becomes very close to the nibblers who took care of her and her bat while they were there, going as far as declaring war on the gnawers when they attempt to eradicate the mice colonies. In the final book, she brings peace between the gnawers and the humans by bonding with Ripred and swearing to protect the rats. Over time, she develops romantic feelings for Gregor the Overlander, though the two part ways in Gregor and the Code of Claw. Her name is possibly derived from the word 'Lux', which means light in Latin. Vikus - Luxa's maternal grandfather, a Regalian diplomat, and head of the council which rules Regalia until Luxa reaches maturity.

According to her, she was clawed by a rat in The Labyrinth after being separated from the rest of the party in The Prophecy of Bane . Personality
When she was first introduced, Luxa was abrasive, cold, and oftentimes mean, especially to Gregor. It eventually became clear, however, that she had a much kinder and friendlier side. This side first began to show itself upon meeting Boots and even more so when she was apart from her cousin, Henry. After Henry's death, she becomes even more open with Gregor, eventually leading to their friendship. She is described as having "real attitude" by Gregor and is weighed down by responsibility and grief, but she is a good, strong leader and a loyal friend. History

But as time goes on, Grete grows older and her priorities change. It becomes easier for the family to ignore the fact that Gregor exists than to continue caring for him. Alienation
Gregor’s transformation brings with it a series of emotional transitions and obstacles that he has to overcome. The main one being the separation from his family, job, and previous role as the main breadwinner. Gregor is alienated from his former humanity, generally, as well as his former personality and role, specifically. Gregor is also physically alienated in his prison cell-like room.

Gregor is alienated from his former humanity, generally, as well as his former personality and role, specifically. Gregor is also physically alienated in his prison cell-like room.

When Gregor first discovers that he’s no longer in his human body, his first thought is for his family. He worries immediately that he’s not going to be able to get to work on time and is going to lose his job. The first pages of the novel are devoted to Gregor’s struggle to force his new body to do what his old one could easily. He cares about the responsibility he has to his family, to pay off his father’s debts and support his sister and mother. A reader should also consider what responsibility his family has for him after his transformation and how they didn’t fulfill it.

Kafkaesque: An Analysis of Metamorphosis a change so drastic that it borders upon the absurd. Change manifests in all of the main characters in Metamorphosis: Gregor’s sister transforms from a child to a young woman; his parents are forced to evolve their roles in order to survive. But it is not change that defines Metamorphosis in my eyes, but lack of change: stagnation. Although Gregor’s physical body changes so utterly that it is unrecognisable as a human form, the protagonist’s mind fails to evolve over the course of the story. Gregor approaches life after the metamorphosis, in a manner identical to life before it; in fact Gregor all but ignores the change of his physical body, spending a disproportionally small amount of time worrying about such a significant event. Before the metamorphosis, Gregor works as a travelling salesman.

Gregor Mendel played a huge role in the underlying principles of genetic inheritance. Gregor was born, July 22 1822 in Heinzendorf, Austrian Silesia (now known as Hyncice, Czech Republic), with the name Johann Mendel. He changed his name to Gregor in 1843. He grew up in an Augustinian brotherhood and he learned agricultural training with basic education. He then went on to the Olmutz Philosophical Institute and later entered the Augustinian Monastery in 1843. After 3 years of theological studies, Mendel went to the University of Vienna, where 2 professors influenced him; the physicist Doppler and a botanist named Unger. Here he learned to study science through experimentation and aroused his interest in the causes of variation in plants.…show more content…
This hypothesis can be divided into four main ideas. The first idea is that alternative versions of genes account for variations in inherited characters. Different alleles will create different variations in inherited characters.

Gregor Mendel played a huge role in the underlying principles of genetic inheritance. Gregor was born, July 22 1822 in Heinzendorf, Austrian Silesia (now known as Hyncice, Czech Republic), with the name Johann Mendel. He changed his name to Gregor in 1843. He grew up in an Augustinian brotherhood and he learned agricultural training with basic education. He then went on to the Olmutz Philosophical Institute and later entered the Augustinian Monastery in 1843. After 3 years of theological studies, Mendel went to the University of Vienna, where 2 professors influenced him; the physicist Doppler and a botanist named Unger. Here he learned to study science through experimentation and aroused his interest in the causes of variation in plants.…show more content…
This hypothesis can be divided into four main ideas. The first idea is that alternative versions of genes account for variations in inherited characters. Different alleles will create different variations in inherited characters.

 Grete, however, changes more than any other character in the story—in essence undergoing her own metamorphosis from a girl into a woman—and that change occurs while her pity for Gregor slowly diminishes. While at first Grete takes care of her brother out of kindness, eventually she comes to regard the job as a duty. She doesn’t always enjoy it, but it serves to define her position in the family, and she becomes territorial about caring for Gregor, not wanting her mother to be involved. As she matures and takes on more adult responsibilities, most notably getting a job to help provide for her family financially, her commitment to Gregor diminishes. Eventually she comes to resent the role, and it is Grete who decides they must get rid of Gregor. The story ends with the parents recognizing that Grete has become a pretty young woman and thinking that it may be time to find her a husband, suggesting Grete has completed her own transformation into an adult.

Kafkaesque: An Analysis of Metamorphosis
Kafka’s ‘Metamorphosis’ is, as the name suggests, a story about change. From the moment that Gregor Samsa awakes from his ‘ uneasy dreams ’, this theme unfolds. The protagonist finds himself ‘ transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect ’; a change so drastic that it borders upon the absurd. Change manifests in all of the main characters in Metamorphosis: Gregor’s sister transforms from a child to a young woman; his parents are forced to evolve their roles in order to survive. But it is not change that defines Metamorphosis in my eyes, but lack of change:

 Grete Samsa Character Analysis in The Metamorphosis | SparkNotes
The Metamorphosis
Apart from her brother Gregor, Grete is the only other character addressed by name in the story, a distinction that reflects her relative importance. Grete is also the only character to show pity for Gregor through most of the novella (his mother also exhibits pity for him later in the story), apparently owing to the great affection Grete and Gregor had for each other before Gregor’s transformation. Consequently, she becomes Gregor’s primary caretaker. She brings him food, cleans his room, places his chair by the window so he can see out to the street, and comes up with the idea of removing his furniture so he has more room to scurry and climb. In this role as caretaker she serves as Gregor’s only real human contact for most of the story, and she acts as Gregor’s only strong emotional tie to his family—and indeed to the rest of humanity. Grete, however, changes more than any other character in the story—in essence undergoing her own metamorphosis from a girl into a woman—and that change occurs while her pity for Gregor slowly diminishes. While at first Grete takes care of her brother out of kindness, eventually she comes to regard the job as a duty. She doesn’t always enjoy it, but it serves to define her position in the family, and she becomes territorial about caring for Gregor, not wanting her mother to be involved. As she matures and takes on more adult responsibilities, most notably getting a job to help provide for her family financially, her commitment to Gregor diminishes. Eventually she comes to resent the role, and it is Grete who decides they must get rid of Gregor.

On Translating Kafka’s “The Metamorphosis” | The New Yorker On Translating Kafka’s “The Metamorphosis”
On Translating Kafka’s “The Metamorphosis” Many, too many; just as Gregor, lying on his back in the story’s opening sentences, discovers he has “these many little legs” waving in the air above him. Both are physical correlatives of a life that has gotten out of hand. Kafka is not even particularly attentive to the continuity of his cast of characters. Early on in the story we see the maid give notice and flee, only to find her still working in the household several pages later and in fact doing all the cooking, since now it is the cook who quit. Except for the charwoman who plays a starring role in the penultimate scenes, the household help is just part of the furniture of the story, like the cabinet that gets shifted to another room. Even the main characters tend to appear categorically, named only by their functions: “ father,” “mother,” “sister.” Only one of them gets a name, Grete (rhymes with beta ), but even she is usually referred to only as “sister” throughout, until the decisive moment near the end when she becomes instead a “daughter.” By defining all these characters through their relationship to Gregor, Kafka slyly allows Gregor’s point of view to dominate the story even when he is not actually present in the scene being described.

 As luck would have it, Gregor was in attendance. The author, Jane Haddam introduces the readers to a modernized order of nuns known as Sisters of the Divine Grace. The Sisters of the Divine Grace play a key role in the plot. Furthermore, apart from the modernized order of nuns, we also get a humorous look at the Catholic Church, its chaotic and religious functioning and its human clergy. The plot is great and at many at times ingenious. Haddam has also done a great job of developing outstanding characters. Some of the most noticeable characters in Precious Blood include the domineering archbishop and Sister Scholastica, one of the nuns. The main subplot has been written to perfection. It is full of humor as it looks at the not so delicate political practice art. The protagonist, Gregor Demarkian is not only refreshing but also highly believable.

"even as a student in elementary school..." See in text (Chapter II)
Once again, Kafka saves the most important item on the list for last. In doing so, he effectively works backward from the present to the past, establishing Gregor's timeline and reminding us that he was human and that he had an entire life before his transformation. This detail comes at a crucial moment, when it's necessary for readers to remember that, psychologically, Gregor is still a person who needs sympathy and understanding. Sinead, Owl Eyes Contributor

"and, apparently, she led the mother by the hand..." See in text (Chapter II)
Notice the reversal of roles here: Gregor's sister, the daughter, holds her mother's hand, acting as if she's the child in their relationship and as if she must protect her mother from what she's able to witness. It's worth noting that a similar reversal of roles happens with the father when Gregor become the provider of the family. Kafka draws this parallel to suggest that the old generation, unlike the new, isn't as prepared to handle unexpected events as their younger counterparts. Sinead, Owl Eyes Contributor

"Only the sister still remained close to Gregor..." See in text (Chapter II)
Kafka has already established that Grete is Gregor's only real ally, but this juxtaposition between her family's gradual loss of gratitude and her continued affection for Gregor suggests that she might have an ulterior motive, and that their relationship may not be as strong as Gregor thinks.

"successful collapse..." See in text (Chapter II)
An oxymoron: the failure of a business cannot be a success, and yet Kafka uses the line anyway, implying that the only thing the father is good at is ruining his business and, by extension, his life.

 Grete is given a great deal of power when taking the role of caretaker over Gregor, and she uses the full extent of this power, and perhaps even abuses it. she is the one to decide if someone is allowed to visit Gregor and she determines what should be done with Gregor’s room. Progressively, Grete begins to act against Gregor and begins to show less consideration and concern for his feelings, just as Gregor is beginning to care less about his family and more about his own situation. When Grete’s father comes home after Gregor has scared his mother and is out of his room, Grete doesn’t try to defend Gregor. Gregor gathers that “Grete’s all too brief statement” will lead to his father’s anger (386). Another example of Grete’s changed feelings toward Gregor is the appearance of Gregor’s room. At first, when she notices that he likes to crawl around on the walls and ceiling, she clears his path by taking away furniture. Later, his room becomes a storage area for unneeded things from the rest of the house. She begins to neglect areas of Gregor’s room that become increasingly unclean. Gregor has also gained an outside perspective of his appearance through the actions and reactions of Grete.

Setting in The Metamorphosis | FreebookSummary Setting in The Metamorphosis
Setting in The Metamorphosis One other noteworthy aspect of setting is that Gregor’s family only steps out into he outside world after Gregor’s death at the end of the story. This is the only time where the setting changes to somewhere outside the apartment. However, as the rest of the family is enjoying the outside world and being in the sun, Gregor is left dead in his dark room. This just further shows Gregor’s isolation from the joys of life. Gregor’s family is only happy and lively enough to get outside the apartment and enjoy the world after Gregor’s death. This can lead to the conclusion that Gregor was heavily isolated ven within his own family. Overall, Kafka uses setting to play a major role throughout The Metamorphosis. The constant settings of the apartment and Gregor’s bedroom show how Gregor feels oppressed and isolated by society through the treatment he receives by all people, especially his family. In this way, Kafka illustrates the frightening isolation and tremendous oppression of modern human life. Kafka uses these to express the anguish of being human.

 Gregor’s predicament creates an opportunity for Grete to be seen as more helpful and responsible to her parents. It seems that Grete becomes more concerned with cleaning Gregor’s room to prove her responsibility and maturity to her parents, and not necessarily with looking after Gregor’s welfare. Gregor still sees her, however, as “only a child despite the efforts she was making and had perhaps taken on so difficult a task merely out of childish thoughtlessness” (382). Grete has her own opinions of what is good for Gregor, which many times opposes Gregor’s feelings, and she sees herself as “an expert in Gregor’s affairs” (384). Also, quite frequently these opinions oppose her parents’ views, which indicates that she is disagreeing with them for the sake of disagreeing, and again not concerning herself with the well-being of her brother. Grete is given a great deal of power when taking the role of caretaker over Gregor, and she uses the full extent of this power, and perhaps even abuses it. she is the one to decide if someone is allowed to visit Gregor and she determines what should be done with Gregor’s room. Progressively, Grete begins to act against Gregor and begins to show less consideration and concern for his feelings, just as Gregor is beginning to care less about his family and more about his own situation. When Grete’s father comes home after Gregor has scared his mother and is out of his room, Grete doesn’t try to defend Gregor. Gregor gathers that “Grete’s all too brief statement” will lead to his father’s anger (386).

 The narration in the story mirrors Gregor’s calm forbearance by never questioning or explaining how or why this odd transformation occurred or remarking on its strangeness. Instead, the story, much like Gregor, moves on quickly from the metamorphosis itself and focuses on the consequences of Gregor’s change. For Gregor, that primarily means becoming accustomed to his new body. In fact reconciling his human thoughts and feelings with his new, insect body is the chief conflict Gregor faces in the story. Despite having changed into an insect, Gregor initially still wants to go to work so that he can provide for his family. It takes him time to realize that he can no longer play that role in his family and that he can’t even go outside in his current state. As the story continues, Gregor’s insect body has an increasing influence on his psychology. He finds that he is at ease hiding in the dark under the sofa in his room, like a bug would, even though his body won’t fit comfortably. He also discovers that he enjoys crawling on the walls and ceiling. But Gregor’s humanity never disappears entirely.

The narration in the story mirrors Gregor’s calm forbearance by never questioning or explaining how or why this odd transformation occurred or remarking on its strangeness. Instead, the story, much like Gregor, moves on quickly from the metamorphosis itself and focuses on the consequences of Gregor’s change. For Gregor, that primarily means becoming accustomed to his new body. In fact reconciling his human thoughts and feelings with his new, insect body is the chief conflict Gregor faces in the story. Despite having changed into an insect, Gregor initially still wants to go to work so that he can provide for his family. It takes him time to realize that he can no longer play that role in his family and that he can’t even go outside in his current state. As the story continues, Gregor’s insect body has an increasing influence on his psychology. He finds that he is at ease hiding in the dark under the sofa in his room, like a bug would, even though his body won’t fit comfortably. He also discovers that he enjoys crawling on the walls and ceiling. But Gregor’s humanity never disappears entirely.

The Metamorphosis: Study Questions | SparkNotes The Metamorphosis
The Metamorphosis It provides him both with a sense of purpose and it created his identity as the money-earner of the family. After his metamorphosis, Gregor struggles with the idea that he can’t work and that he no longer acts as the family’s breadwinner. He continues to hope that he will suddenly turn back to his former self and return to work. Even toward the end of the story he imagines telling Grete of the plan he had to send her to the Conservatorium, indicating that he hasn’t let go of the idea and that he still longs to play that role in his family. But unable to work, Gregor finds himself in a position similar to that of the father, without any clear sense of purpose or motivation. The great difference between them is that Gregor has a greater struggle to overcome as he tries to reconcile his lingering human side with his new body. Work plays a distinctly different role in Grete’s life, as it serves to help her mature and become an adult. At the beginning of the story, she is still a child. She has no real responsibilities, and in fact Gregor describes her life as “dressing herself nicely, sleeping long, helping in the housekeeping, going out to a few modest entertainments, and above all playing the violin.” After finding work to help earn money, as well as having the duty of caring for Gregor, Grete starts to become more mature.

No one was sad when he got himself killed. He insulted Jon Snow and was executed because of it. 13 Gregor Clegane - Fell To His Death
Gregor Clegane, "The Mountain," was one of the most feared villains in the show. Many actors went through this role, but the main one was Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson.

 She feeds him and takes careful notice of what his new appetite prefers. In order to discover which foods Gregor liked and disliked, “she brought him a wide selection that she spread out on an old newspaper. There were old, half-rotten vegetables, bones left over from the evening meal covered with congealed white sauce, a few raisins and almonds, some cheese that Gregor had considered inedible two days ago, a slice of dry bread, a slice of bread and butter, and a slice of bread and butter with some salt” (pg. 290). Gregor greatly appreciates this as he is able to show his sister what foods he really does enjoy. Aside from becoming the self appointed caretaker of Gregor, Grete also assumes the role of Gregor’s spokesperson to the family. After attending to Gregor in the evening “she had to give a detailed report about how the room looked, what Gregor had eaten, how he had behaved [that] time, and whether perhaps some slight improvement was noticeable” (pg. 294) Grete serves as the only link between Gregor and the mother and father. Gregor is very grateful for his sister’s intricate care and he feels quite comfortable as an insect with high hopes that everything will return back to normal. In an attempt to again accommodate Gregor’s new needs, Grete decides it would be best to remove the furniture in his room in order to allow more crawling space for him.

After convincing her mother this is a good course of action, they decide to remove the furniture while the father is not present due on account he may disapprove or
violently interfere. Although Grete’s actions were of good intention, her plan ends in disaster when Gregor attempts to stop the removal of his furniture and shocks his Mother provoking his father to attack and injure him. Thus ensues a great severance in Gregor’s relationship with his sister. Signs of change in Grete’s demeanor and behavior toward Gregor are first seen toward the end of the second section in the story. Grete undoubtedly begins to forget that this insect is her brother and that he still manifests human feelings and desires.

The Relationship Between Gregor Samsa and His Father in the Metamorphosis, a Short Story by Franz Kafka
Remember: This is just a sample from a fellow student.
 When Gregor was attempting to open the door after his transformation, he thought about his family and “bit on the key with all his strength, paying no attention to the pain he was causing himself” (Metamorphosis). Gregor, both as a human and as a bug, cares more about his father than he cares about himself. Gregor’s father’s true feelings for Gregor are completely different from Gregor’s selfless feelings for him. His father despises him and uses him for his own benefit. After his father’s business failure, Gregor worked hard to provide for the family since his father no longer could. At first his father and his family was “astonished and delighted” but then he “had got used to it” (Metamorphosis). By providing for the family, Gregor’s relationship with his father distanced, saying that he “only remained close to his sister now” (Metamorphosis). This suggests that by Gregor taking over as the provider for the family, his father might be ashamed that his son has to pay off his debt and of the reversal of roles since the father is suppose to support the family. After Gregor’s transformation into a bug, his father’s true resent for him shows. Because he is no longer providing for the family and has become a burden instead, his father shows disgust and hostility towards him.

 Gregor is close with his sister Grete, and she is the one who becomes his caretaker after his transformation. If this strange change had happened to her, rather than to Gregor, he would have done the same for her, as any close family member would. Gregor does not, however, have an ideal relationship with his father. His father, whom he rarely refers to by name, is distant and seems unkind. He has failed to provide for his family and shows no sympathy for Gregor after the metamorphosis, instead becoming violent toward his son in several instances. It may be said that in his behavior toward the "intruder," Gregor's father is once again becoming the patriarch of the family, rescuing his innocent wife and daughter from a hideous creature. By the end of the novel, Gregor is no longer the provider for his family, and consequently, each of the other family members have assumed their "correct places" in the familial hierarchy, despite disregarding Gregor himself in the process.

The relationships in the Samsa household are defined by tension and resentment. Before his metamorphosis, Gregor is the only working family member. His job as a salesman supports the family financially, and Gregor takes his role seriously. He often sacrifices so his family can be comfortable, although he does sometimes feel slighted (meaning he doesn't think his family appreciates him enough). Gregor's father has failed to support his family himself, so he behaves aggressively toward his son, due to his feelings of inadequacy. Gregor's mother tries to defend him on occasion, but she gives in to her husband's anger. Gregor's sister seems to be the family member for whom Gregor holds the most affection. Before he changes, he expresses the desire to pay for her musical training.

Abstract
Background
Abiotic stresses adversely affect plant growth and development. The hormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays a central role in the response and adaptation to environmental constraints. However, apart from the well established role of ABA in regulating gene expression programmes, little is known about its function in plant stress metabolism.

Samsa’s psychological and physical abuse would be when he locked Gregor in his room and ceased interacting with Gregor. After Mr. Samsa viewed the monster Gregor had transformed into, “he seized in his right hand the manager’s cane . . . picked up in his left hand a heavy newspaper from the table, and stamping his feet started brandishing the cane and the newspaper to drive Gregor back into his room” (Kafka 18). This dramatic event was the start of Gregor’s isolation. Grete, Gregor’s sister, took care of Gregor, but she too began to lose interest in Gregor and his well being. Not only was he not allowed out of his room, but his father would not come to take care of him or even consider him apart of the family anymore.

In Franz Kafka’s “The Metamorphosis,” Gregor, the main character, goes through a series of mental changes that symbolize how alienated he becomes from the humans of the modern world. Through the metamorphosis, Gregor becomes more aware of what he wants and what he needs instead of what he needs to do for the others. The metamorphosis also symbolizes the mental change that Gregor goes through. The main character of the literature masterpiece stops acting like a human being, and his world begins to change. Gregor’s radical change of mind is fueled by the events that take place in his family. The character finds out about all the lies that he was told about his family’s financial problems. This, in turn, made him feel that has was losing care for his family and a sense of individuality. As a result, the man begins to alienate from his family and the rest of human society. Through the metamorphosis, Gregor becomes more aware of what he needs instead of thinking and caring about what others need him to do. Throughout most of the story, Gregor lives a life of serving and not receiving anything for his troubles.

The Absurdity of Life
Beginning with its first sentence, The Metamorphosis deals with an absurd, or wildly irrational, event, which in itself suggests that the story operates in a random, chaotic universe. The absurd event is Gregor’s waking up to discover he has turned into a giant insect, and since it’s so far beyond the boundaries of a natural occurrence—it’s not just unlikely to happen, it’s physically impossible—Gregor’s metamorphosis takes on a supernatural significance. Also notable is the fact that the story never explains Gregor’s transformation. It never implies, for instance, that Gregor’s change is the result of any particular cause, such as punishment for some misbehavior. On the contrary, by all evidence Gregor has been a good son and brother, taking a job he dislikes so that he can provide for them and planning to pay for his sister to study music at the conservatory. There is no indication that Gregor deserves his fate. Rather, the story and all the members of the Samsa family treat the event as a random occurrence, like catching an illness.

 Gregor, unable to relinquish his humanity, chooses emotional comfort, leading him to desperately cling to the picture of the woman in furs. The Limits of Sympathy
After Gregor’s metamorphosis, his family members struggle with feelings of both sympathy and revulsion toward him. Grete and the mother in particular feel a great deal of sympathy for Gregor after his change, apparently because they suspect some aspect of his humanity remains despite his appearance. This sympathy leads Grete initially to take on the role of Gregor’s caretaker—she even goes so far as to try to discover what food he likes after his change—and it leads the mother to fight with Grete over moving the furniture out of Gregor’s room since she holds out hope that he will return to his human form. Even the father, who shows the least sympathy of the family members toward Gregor and even attacks him twice, never suggests that they kill him or force him out of the house. Instead, he implicitly shows compassion for Gregor by allowing the family to care for him. Eventually, however, the stresses caused by Gregor’s presence wear down the family members’ sympathy, and even the most caring of them find that their sympathy has a limit. One of those sources of stress is Gregor’s appearance. Grete is so upset and revolted by the way he looks that she can hardly stand to be in the room with him, and his mother is so horrified when she sees him as she and Grete are moving his furniture that she faints. In addition, Gregor’s presence is never forgotten in the house, causing the family members to feel constantly uncomfortable and leading them to speak to each other mostly in whispers.

 Gregor Samsa Character Analysis in The Metamorphosis | SparkNotes
The Metamorphosis
Despite his complete physical transformation into an insect at the beginning of the story, Gregor changes very little as a character over the course of The Metamorphosis. Most notably, both as a man and as an insect Gregor patiently accepts the hardships he faces without complaint. When his father’s business failed, he readily accepted his new role as the money-earner in the family without question, even though it meant taking a job he disliked as a traveling salesman. Similarly, when he first realizes he has transformed into an insect, he does not bemoan his condition, wonder about its cause, or attempt to rectify it in any way. On the contrary, he quickly accepts that he has become a bug and tries to go about his life as best he can in his new condition. The narration in the story mirrors Gregor’s calm forbearance by never questioning or explaining how or why this odd transformation occurred or remarking on its strangeness. Instead, the story, much like Gregor, moves on quickly from the metamorphosis itself and focuses on the consequences of Gregor’s change. For Gregor, that primarily means becoming accustomed to his new body. In fact reconciling his human thoughts and feelings with his new, insect body is the chief conflict Gregor faces in the story. Despite having changed into an insect, Gregor initially still wants to go to work so that he can provide for his family.

Transformation in the Metamorphosis | FreebookSummary Transformation in the Metamorphosis
Transformation in the Metamorphosis Through the use of the transformation of characters in the novella, The Metamorphosis, Franz Kafka portrays the idea that people change under pressure. Throughout the novella, Kafka constantly mentions Gregor’s job and his roles at work. His whole life is revolved around the company and he has no social life because of it. Due to all of this pressure and stress, Gregor changes form. Kafka opens the story with, “When Gregor Samsa awoke in his bed one morning from unquiet dreams, he found himself transformed into an enormous insect” (945). This shows that over time Gregor gets tired of the strain and anxiety that his job creates for him. His alienation is the result of his long working hours and the lack of affection and affirmation he receives from everyone surrounding him. After Gregor wakes up, he hears the doorbell ring and he attempts to get up. When Gregor finally opens the door and reveals his new transformation to his family and the Deputy Director he observes that, “On the wall just opposite hung a photograph of Gregor from his military days, which showed him dressed as a lieutenant, with a carefree smile, his hand on his dagger, his bearing and his uniform commanding respect” (953). Before Gregor’s strict work life, for once, he is content with his life because he is a member of the military.

When Gregor finally opens the door and reveals his new transformation to his family and the Deputy Director he observes that, “On the wall just opposite hung a photograph of Gregor from his military days, which showed him dressed as a lieutenant, with a carefree smile, his hand on his dagger, his bearing and his uniform commanding respect” (953). Before Gregor’s strict work life, for once, he is content with his life because he is a member of the military.

What led to Gregor Samsa’s tragic end? In the novel, The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, published in 1915, a young man named Gregor Samsa wakes up one day, only to find that he has gone through a very shocking physical transformation into a human-sized bug. Throughout The Metamorphosis, Gregor’s family basically disowns him, and he begins to feel like a burden to them, so he decides something needs to change for them, and for him, death is the only option. One of the literary elements in this novel is the incorporation of biblical allusions. The first example, is when Gregor is hidden away and shunned by his family, this can be looked at as a biblical reference to Gregor’s situation, when Jesus is turned against by his followers. The second, and most prominent example of biblical allusion is the role that the apple plays in the plot. The apple can be interpreted as the same Biblical fruit, from the tree of knowledge. Lastly, when Gregor cannot move from the pain after an apple is wedged in his back, he states that he feels “nailed in place” (Kafka 52). This is just like Jesus, and how he was nailed to the cross. After Gregor’s transformation, his family only sees him as a bug, they do not see the Gregor who is a person, and a part of their family, anymore.

After Gregor’s transformation, his family only sees him as a bug, they do not see the Gregor who is a person, and a part of their family, anymore. Thus, his family does not let Gregor come out of his room. The family does not know what to do with him Gregor, and soon he is just seen as a burden to all of them. By the end of The Metamorphosis, Gregor’s family does not want anything to do with him because he is a bug and Grete states, “we must try to get rid of it” (Kafka 68). Jesus, by comparison, was driven away by his followers, just like Gregor was by his family. In the Book of Luke 22:2 (NIV) it states, “... the teachers of the law were looking for some way to get rid of Jesus, for they were afraid of the people”.
