FAMILY DYNAMICS:
How the Benefit From Each Other-
The Samsa support each other differently. While Gregor has been supporting his family by going to work everyday and paying the debt that his family owes, his sister aids him in his time of need when he is all of a sudden transformed into a giant insect. Although the novella doesn't go into depth about his relationship with both parents but his they seem to be a bit neutral when supporting Gregor.
"Anyway, I haven't completely given up hope yet.Once I've got together the money to oay off my parent debt to him-that should take another five or six years- I'll do it for sure.." Page 1
How They Harm Each Other-
Gregor parents fail to see how hard he really works to support his family. Take when his sister starts her job, they have praise and lots of respect for her taking on the obligation that her parents hoped she'd fulfill. So she won't become a "useless woman".
The Samsa family also demonstrate how they can't handle a change in routine. How they can't accept their own son while he had to deal with this strange metamorphosis happening on his body.
"In the first two weeks his parents could not bring themselves to come vistit him, and he often heard how they fully acknowledged his sister's present work; whereas earlier they had often got annoyed at his sister because she had seemed to them a somewhat useless young woman."Page 11
5 Rules Crucial To a Healthy Family Life-
1.)Learn and try to understand the different personalities in your household.
2.)Accept your family for who they are and what they like.
3.)Family Discussions
4.)Having Dinner, or just spending time with your family members.
5.)Respect each other.
The Samsa Grade-
I give the Samsa's a C.
I gave them this grade because of their lack in Social skill and understanding of everyone in the household. They do however respect each other very well in my opinion. They know who takes care of the bill and their debt.(Gregor) And I feel they give him a a good deal of respect for what he does. Also when he made his transformation his sister made sure that he felt comfortable in moving around and the food that consumed.
