The best
word to describe Gregors fathers reaction in this moment is hostility. When Gregors manager
arrives, the entire family is trying to placate him and help Gregor retain his job. His
appearance frightens his manager, which enraged his father. Gregors father, incensed, forces him
back into the room, raging at him.
The transformation has not only affected
Gregor, but has impacted his entire family, as he is the sole breadwinner. This change upsets
his parents, in particular his father, because Gregor has been attempting to pay off his fathers
debts. The transformation has torn away their hope at getting out of their situation and enrages
Gregors father, which is why he reacts so violently and angrily. Gregor, unable to communicate
except with unintelligible growls and hisses, wallows in misery because he has disappointed his
family.
