Point of viewThe narrator speaks exclusively in the third person, focusing primarily on the thoughts, feelings, and actions of Gregor Samsa. The narrator only describes events that Gregor sees, hears, remembers, or imagines from the actions around him.
Although at first Gregor is psychologically unaltered by his transformation, his personality changes over the course of the story in accordance with his new physical urges and desires. These changes primarily come about as he adapts to his new body and learns what it finds comfortable.

Which of the following best describe the narrator's point of view in the story? Third-person omniscient: the narration remains focused on Gregor's perspective, however it occasionally branches out to other perspectives (i.e. the Samsas, following Gregor's death).
Gregor's father may bear the major responsibility for his death because of injuring him with the apple, but no one in the family is blameless. He is responsible to an extent because he allowed his family, especially his father to use him for money even before he morphed into a bug.
