KATE How many times have I told you not to leave your things around the house?

EUGENE A hundred and nine.

KATE What?

EUGENE You said yesterday, "I told you a hundred and nine times not to leave your things around the house."

BLANCHE Don't be fresh to your mother, Gene!

EUGENE (To the audience) Was I fresh? I swear . . . that's what she said to me yesterday . . . One day I'm going to put all this in a book or a play. I'm going to be a writer like Ring Lardner or somebody -- that's if things don't work out first with the Yankees, or the Cubs, or the Red Sox, or maybe possibly the Tigers . . . If I get down to the St. Louis Browns, then I'll definitely be a writer.

Based on what he tells the audience directly, he thinks the situation is so unbelievable, it would make a good book.

answer: b. grete might have remained as shy and immature as she was at the beginning of the story.

one of the most interesting characteristics of gregor's metamorphosis is that, although he is the only character who has physically changed, it is this same change which triggered a transformation in the rest of his family.

by taking care of gregor, grete has become stronger and more confident. she has found a life outside of the house, and has become more independent and self-sufficient. the novel implies that the trigger for the change is gregor's own transformation, and that without it, grete was likely to remain as shy and immature as she was at the beginning of the book.
