Gregor’s family start to leave his bedroom door open for him so that he can watch them. He sees his family start to break down as a result of his transformation and their poverty. Greta starts to clean his room less and less, and Gregor’s family fires the maid for a cheap cleaning lady who finds Gregor funny. As a goal to get more money, his family has also taken 3 renters and have been forced to put their extra furniture in Gregor’s room, causing Gregor to become very cramped. One evening, the cleaning lady leaves the door to Gregor’s room ajar, and he observes the boarders eat in the living room. From the kitchen he hears his sister play the violin, and the boarders invites his sister to play for them. Gregor sneaks out of his room to watch her play. The boarders see Gregor and demand not only say that they are leaving the house but refuse to pay for any of the time they have stayed there.
The family is exhausted and fed up of Gregor and they decide that they need to find a way to get rid of him. Gregor wishes that his family could understand him and wishes that they would understand that he would leave by his own accord. He tries slowly to move back to his room with his parents watching him and the moment he moves beyond the threshold of his room, his sister slams and locks the door behind him where soon after, he dies…
