Kafka provides many details about how Gregor interacts with his parents. Based on these details, what can you infer about Gregor's relationship with his mother and father? Use text evidence to support your inferences.

Gregor's mother enquired, "Didn't you want to go somewhere" (line 89) rather than indicate that he's not early for work. Gregor's father called to the attention of how his son "sits with us in the kitchen and just reads the paper or studies train timetables" (lines 247-248), revealing how Gregor does not relate with his family. Gregor is not close to his parents.
