One morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxious dreams,
he discovered that in bed he had been changed into a monstrous verminous bug.
This transformation and the dreary weather made him quite melancholy.
That, together with his sister's practice of the violin.
In any case, Gregor didn't feel particularly fresh and active to get out of bed.
If that wasn't enough of a dilemma, it was already half past six, Gregor's time to work. The severity of the situation caused one of his managers to investigate his absence. Gregor was in danger of losing his job position as a travelling salesman.
At this stage, there was no avoiding a blow up.
Of course, Gregor did not wish to lose his job. He wouldn't dream of abandoning his family! He had this forsight; the manager must held back, calmed down, convinced, and finally won over. The future of Gregor and his family really depended on it!
She too, seemed to be bewildered as well.
And as for his sister, Grete...
Unfortunately, the manager and parents must have suspected something wrong with him.
