I think they changed for the better, at least the daughter. "And it was like a confirmation of their new dreams and good intentions when at the end of the ride their daughter got up first and stretched her young body" (55).

"The greatest immediate improvement in their situation would come easily, of course, from a change in apartments..." (Kafka 55).

I believe that the family will remain the same. "And so they sat at the table and wrote letters of excuse, Mr. Samsa to the management of the bank, Mrs. Samsa to her employer, and Grete to the store owner" (54)

"'Well,' said Mr. Samsa, 'now we can thank God!'"

This quote illustrates that the family did not view Gregor is a positive light, and rather as a burden.. or THE burden on the family's life. As they believe Gregor is seemingly the essence of all their internal issues, now that he is gone, they will attempt at the same path they did before. This will lead to the further demise of the family, as they now have no one to hold accountable and blame for their hardships. Contrary to the truth, the family seems to imagine that the debt was lifted at the same moment as Gregor died, soon to realize they still hold the debt. Furthermore, irony is shown in the quote by thanking god. In many ways, Gregor can be seen as almost a Christ-like figure, as he almost always does the most to endear for and help the family. Yet, even through the heavenly attitude that Gregor holds for his family, they still find the riddance of it to be so godly.

I believe that the family will remain the same and continue to make the same mistakes. "They thought it would soon be time, too, to find her a good husband" (55). To the parents, each child has a role in society. Gregor was supposed to make money and relieve them of debt, and Grete would be the maid and housewife. Even though Gregor was freed of his dehumanization, Grete will become dehumanized.

In my opinion the family will remain the same, because through his change, and even in the beginning stages of his life as a beetle, Kafka states, "Only his sister had remained close to Gregor" (26). This exemplifies the distance that was put within the family and him as a result of his metamorphosis.

I feel that the family will improve and become more productive because they already start making positive changes to their lives immediately after Gregor's death. "they would now take a smaller and cheaper apartment, but one better situated and in every way simpler to manage".

"Then all three of them left the apartment together, something they had not done in months" (55).
I think the family will be different as they act more like a family unlike the situation described by Gregor throughout the book and the culmination of the family leaving the apartment together.

I think that despite Gregor's sacrifice at the end of the novel, the family will be the same. His death did not reveal something to them that they did not already know, if anything it highlighted their obsession with climbing the social ladder, and their obsession with self image. This is evident when Kafka writes, "They decided to spend this day resting and going for a walk; they not only deserved a break for their work, they absolutely needed one" (54). This quote highlights the family mindset that they are the ones taking on the burden of money, despite the fact that they are only paying off their own debt, which Gregor initially carried. Plus, their lack of care for Gregor in his final days shows how they disregard him since he cannot provide any furthur.

The ending paragraph foreshadows that the family might end up making the same mistakes again, but this time with grete, not gregor. "...they thought that it would soon be time, too, to find her a good husband." (55). This at first may seem innocent and that the parents thinking of Gretes well being, but judging from how Mr. Samsa had not changed his viewpoint on the lower class and still views himself as higher, that he is actually forcing her to marry someone that most likely will be someone wealthy so they can move up in class. Even though they are moving to a new apartment, and a new place, they themselves have not changed.

"... Way simpler to manage than the old one, which Gregor had picked for them." (55) I find it ironic that the family has been in financial trouble, and they did not move to this cheaper and better situated apartment before when Gregor was alive. As if they had they could have paid off the debt faster, and they took advantage of Gregor again by choosing the spot that he had already chosen. But overall will improve from this.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the family is the same and will make the same mistakes.  Gregor's sister is referred to as a feeble child throughout the book as she matures.  The insistence that she is young is there to emphasize that she is the only one with a future.  The mother is already married and at this time in history, she is coming to the end of her usefulness.  Mr. Samsa is already an old man who has chosen his career and is consumed in the power struggle of the working class society.  Therefore, the violin crashing to the ground and breaking represents the only opportunity that she has.  Gregor's dream for her was to send her to the Conservatory and his only dream that came from his 5 years of work came to an end just as he died.  Her "practiced hands" were used to make "covers and bolsters on the bed" (Kafka 47).  All of her dreams are crushed as he dies and therefore none of the three survivors are going to do anything meaningful to extend his career.

"...all three of them left the apartment together, something they had not done in months" (55).
I feel like Gregor's death significantly impacted them, and forced them to push forward to improve themselves. They want to do things differently, such as the father sitting on the chair and the sister waiting on everyone, fitting into a stereotypical perspective of a woman. Those times represented their lowest versions of themselves. The death of their son was a burden that was essentially lifted from them.

I feel that the family is the same and will make this same mistakes. I think they will worse because gregor was the one who was making all the money to pay of the families debt. In the beginning of the. novela, Gregor first turns into his bug form and the manager shows up. He tries to convince the manager to calm down and stay, "The manager must be detained... Gregor's and the family's future depends on it" (16). Kafka emphasizes hoe Gregor is the person supporting the family and making money for the family. Without him, the family will perish and will continue to make the same mistake.

I think that the family will be the same, as the book ends off with "when at the end of the ride their daughter got up first and stretched her young body". She's going to become just like Gregor.

"...it was like a confirmation of their new dreams and good intentions" (55).
This quote represents how the family already had a more positive outlook on life and had dreams they were working towards. Something as simple as their daughter growing up is motivation for them to life their life productively and different than before Gregor's passing.

"All three of them left the apartment which they haven't done in months"
They were doing things they never have done before. They also were starting to realize the positive sides of a lot of things as they were all in a better mood than they were before.

"..them left the apartment together, something they had not done in months.."(55)
I feel like this is significant because it shows that the burden has been lifited and they are more free. They have the freedome to go back out interact with society without the fear of shame. It makes it clear that they are able to be more productive and live life happier than they had.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the family changed due to Gregor's death, based on the quote "then all three left the apartment together, something they had not done in months" which demonstrates how the family grew closer due to Gregor's death (55). They realized that the only thing they are guaranteed to have in this world is each other
