Grete Samsa

Grete Samsa is a character from Franz Kafka's novella "The Metamorphosis." She is the younger sister of Gregor Samsa, the main character who transforms into a giant insect. Grete initially cares for Gregor, showing concern and compassion, but as his condition persists and becomes a burden, her attitude shifts toward resentment. She represents a complex mix of familial loyalty, personal growth, and societal expectations. Grete’s evolving relationship with Gregor highlights themes of alienation and the fragility of family bonds in the face of extraordinary circumstances.
