Abstract
"In front of this monstrous creature I refuse to pronounce my brother's name, and therefore I merely say: we have to get rid of it [emphasis mine]…All you have to do is try to shake off the idea that that's Gregor" (47), cries Grete to her father as tempers and patience flare at the end of kafka's the metamorphosis. This is due to Grete's and the Samsa family's inability to cope with the bothersome insect that dominates the family's life and that was once her brother and their son, Gregor. This marks an important and painful shift between the animal/human realms for Gregor as the family no longer has any human connections with him and view him merely as a burdensome bug that needs to be exterminated. This is especially painful as it comes from the family member that Gregor felt the strongest connections with after his metamorphosis.
