New lives for everyone
Before, Samsa was the one providing for his family. Now each of his family members has to work instead, and they begin to neglect Samsa, still weak from his injury, so that he doesn't eat much and is living in filth. -
The boarders
To get even more money, the family takes in a few men as boarders. One night they wish to hear the sister play her violin, and Samsa, his door accidentally left open, can't help but creep out as he is mesmerized by her playing. The boarders see Samsa and are repulsed.
