Outline
Gregor wakes up as a vermin.
He realizes he has missed the train to get to work on time.
Gregor's mother knocks on the door and tries to come into his room but Gregor out of habit has the door locked and when he tries to call out to her his voice is squeaky.
His office manager comes to his and his family's apartment to find out why Gregor has not shown up for work.
Gregor finally gets the door open with his mouth and when his office manager sees his appearance he bolts from the apartment.
Gregor's sister, Grete, puts milk and bread in his room but he finds the taste now repulses him.
Grete later puts rotting food in Gregor's room which he enjoys.
Gregor spends his time listening and watching his family talk.
Gregor becomes more comfortable with his new body and starts climbing up the walls for amusement.
Grete and their mom move the furniture in his room so that climbing for him will be much easier.
Gregor gets upset by this and in a last effort covers up a picture on the wall of a women in a fur hat.
When Gregor's mother sees him she passes out.
When Gregor's father sees her condition he thinks that Gregor attacked her and he throws an apple at him which gets wedged in his side.
In order to bring in some money his family rents out one of the rooms in the apartment to three business men.
When the business men find out about Gregor they move out and refuse to pay that month's rent because of the repulsive conditions.
Grete tells her parents that they must get rid of Gregor before they are all ruined, to which her father agrees.
Gregor overhears this and he goes into his room and dies.
When his family finds out he has died they feel relieved and move out to the country.
