three important events:
Before all this happened, Gregor was the sole breadwinner of the family. He was the closest with his sister, who had a gift for playing the violin. It was his wish to send his sister to the Conservatory to study music, no matter the cost. It had been his plan to announce this on Christmas Eve.

Despite the fact that his sister was taking care of him, she still couldn't bear the sight of him. To make things easier for her, he took four hours to arrange the blanket so that it completely covered him when he was underneath the sofa. Also, every time she entered his room, she had to first open the window wide.

One day, while his mother and sister were visiting him, his sister decided to move all the heavy furniture from his room. This was so that he may crawl more freely on the walls and ceiling.

prediction: Something is about to happen; the author wouldn't have the two women move the furniture for no plot-related reason, and then just go back to the mundane day-in day-out routine of feeding and Gregor dwelling in his thoughts. This break from routine might be the inciting force to an impending climax of some sort.
