which two excerpts from franz kafka’s the metamorphosis show how gregor’s sister, grete, transformed in the story?
(a) "it's got to go," shouted his sister, "that's the only way, father. you've got to get rid of the idea that that's gregor. we've only harmed ourselves by believing it for so long. how can that be gregor? if it were gregor he would have seen long ago that it's not possible for human beings to live with an animal like that and he would have gone of his own free will. we wouldn't have a brother any more, then, but we could carry on with our lives and remember him with respect. as it is this animal is persecuting us, it's driven out our tenants, it obviously wants to take over the whole flat and force us to sleep on the streets. father, look, just look," she suddenly screamed, "he's starting again! "
(b) mr. and mrs. samsa sat upright there in their marriage bed and had to make an effort to get over the shock caused by the cleaner before they could grasp what she was saying. but then, each from his own side, they hurried out of bed. mr. samsa threw the blanket over his shoulders, mrs. samsa just came out in her nightdress; and that is how they went into gregor's room. on the way they opened the door to the living room where grete had been sleeping since the three gentlemen had moved in; she was fully dressed as if she had never been asleep, and the paleness of her face seemed to confirm this.
(c) "leave my home. now! " said mr. samsa, indicating the door and without letting the women from him. "what do you mean? " asked the middle of the three gentlemen somewhat disconcerted, and he smiled sweetly. the other two held their hands behind their backs and continually rubbed them together in gleeful anticipation of a loud quarrel which could only end in their favour. "i mean just what i said," answered mr. samsa, and, with his two companions, went in a straight line towards the man.
(d) the greatest improvement for the time being, of course, would be achieved quite easily by moving house; what they needed now was a flat that was smaller and cheaper than the current one which had been chosen by gregor, one that was in a better location and, most of all, more practical. all the time, grete was becoming livelier. with all the worry they had been having of late her cheeks had become pale, but, while they were talking, mr. and mrs. samsa were struck, almost simultaneously, with the thought of how their daughter was blossoming into a well built and beautiful young lady.
