“I should say so,” said the cleaning woman and, by way of proof, poked Gregor’s body with the broom a considerable distance more to the side. Mrs. Samsa made a movement as if she wished to restrain the broom, but didn’t do it. “Well,” said Mr. Samsa, “now we can give thanks to God.” He crossed himself, and the three women followed his example.
This quote embodies the lack of humanity and care that Gregor's family, for whom he previously provided for and loves, care little for him simply because of his appearance. However, the slight detail of Mrs Samsa perhaps wanting to restrain the broom makes one think, does she really care about her dead son, but refuses to show it because of his alternate form? This care is quickly rebutted by Mr Samsa's comment implying he hardly cared about the death, and was happy to have the burden of a large bug off of his shoulders. While this quote doesnt show it, this is in contrast to Grete, who has had a very hard journey coming to the realization that her brother may not be worth her attention anymore. She lies apart from the family in that she truly showed her care for Gregor, but saw it wane over time because of his poorer state.
