Grete is grateful when Gregor hide himself under the couch so that she doesn't have to see him.
In Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis," Gregor Samsa’s father represents society's abandonment of Gregor. Initially, he is the figure who physically and emotionally distances himself from Gregor after his transformation into a giant insect. This rejection highlights the lack of empathy and support from family and society, illustrating how those who are unable to conform to societal expectations are often marginalized and discarded. Ultimately, Gregor's father's hostility underscores the harsh realities of alienation and the consequences of nonconformity.
