Contrary to the previous answer, Gregor does not die because of his father. Gregor wills himself to die alone in his room because he feels horrible for being such a burden on his family and because he over heard his sister (whom he thought still loved him) talking to his parents saying that she couldn't stand Gregor and that she wanted to get rid of him. This complete alienation and lack of love and compassion led Gregor to realize he was unwelcome and out of misery, he willed himself to die.

How does the metamorphosis of Gregor mirror the metamorphosis of one of the other characters Compare Gregor and metamorphosis to the metamorphosis of one other character?

Gregor's metamorphosis into an insect represents his alienation and loss of identity, reflecting the emotional and psychological changes in his family, particularly his sister Grete. Initially sympathetic, Grete's transformation from caring sibling to resentful caregiver mirrors Gregor's decline, as she becomes increasingly burdened by his presence. Both characters undergo a profound change, highlighting themes of isolation, responsibility, and the fragility of familial bonds. Ultimately, their metamorphoses reveal the deep-seated tensions and shifting dynamics within the family unit.
