What similarities do these characters in the “trinity” share? How are they connected?
They are all sitting in the house.
How do the characters interact with Gregor? Are their interactions similar or different?
Gregor spies on the boarders. He is curious about them but stays away because he doesn’t want them to see him.
The boarders are more entertained and amused by Gregor than his sister playing the violin.
There is one leader and two followers (The Boarders)
How do the characters influence Gregor and his ultimate demise? Are they similar or different in the way they affect Gregor?
Gregor being spotted by the boarders when the sister is playing her violin, makes his sister not want to look after him anymore/ want to kick him out. She refers to him as “it”.
How does Gregor's transformation and ultimate demise influence the characters? Are they similar or different in the way Gregor influences them?
They all moved on and now are focusing on the daughter.
Does this grouping of three have any symbolic significance (religious significance), or is Kafka ironically grouping the characters into a trinity for a larger purpose?
not sure
Come up with a clear, focused thesis statement that asserts something interesting and arguable about your assigned trinity and its purpose in the novel. Feel free to draw on any or all of the evidence you've gathered.
The 3rd chapter can be seen as a religious reference as a result to the story of Abraham when he family finally gives up gregor because he is discovered by the 3 boarders
