Grete & Mr. Samsa
- The word dutiful best describes Grete. She spends time figuring out what Gregor needs and adjusts accordingly. She also plans his meals and the cleaning of his room when “his parents and the maid were still asleep” out of consideration for them. Grete is a dynamic character.
- The word enterprising best describes Mr. Samsa as he immediately worries about financial matters after Gregor’s transformation. He has not bothered himself with this burden ever since Gregor took it on, but on the first night of his son’s metamorphosis, he finds “some money available from the old days,” and tells the family that they should all look for jobs.
