Sammanfattning av The Metamorphosis, Chapter 2

Vad händer

1. Gregor rejects milk, discovers a taste for spoiled food, and hides under the sofa while his sister cares for him.
2. He overhears that the family has savings, but its members still need to earn money.
3. Gregor begins crawling on walls and ceilings, while hiding himself beneath a sheet to spare Grete distress.
4. Grete and their mother clear furniture from his room, but their mother’s objections renew Gregor’s attachment to his human belongings.
5. Gregor protects a picture on the wall; his mother sees him and faints, and Grete shuts him away from her.
6. His father pursues him and throws apples; one lodges in his back as his mother begs for his life.
