Gregor's Unhappiness

Gregor Sancha is the main character of Kafka, and I feel sorry for the guy. He works like a dog every day, and keeps a tiny fraction of the money for himself. He pays his parents debts, and is planning to put his sister through school. His parent's don't seem to feel sorry for him at all. When the chief clerk comes to the Sancha residence to ask why Gregor hasn't turned up, the parents try to persuade him that Gregor is ill. However, they do it out of purely selfish reasons: They don't want to have to pay back their debts themselves. When the father sees that Gregor has transformed into the creature, he is angry at the creature, because he knows that he will have to go back to work to pay the debts that the family have to the firm. The mother is also uspet, mostly because her son has transformed into a massive bug, but also because it means that they will be in financial trouble again.
