three important events:
Gregor soon realized that he did not, in fact, want his furniture to be moved. They were the last relics of his human past. All his belongings were in the drawers and cabinets. He wanted his things in his room to remind him of the person he used to be. So, he tried saving a painting that was on the wall by crawling over it.

His mother came in and, upon seeing Gregor in full view, fainted. When his sister arrived at the scene, she said to him angrily, "You, Gregor!". This was the first time that someone had addressed him directly since his metamorphosis. He followed her to the other room to fetch medicine for their mother.

By following her, Gregor only succeeded in startling his sister. When she got the medicine, she went into the room where her mother was, and slammed the door on Gregor. Gregor then started anxiously crawling all over the place, until he collapsed, unconscious, on the table.

When he woke up, his father returned. His father had regained his erect posture from working again. He chased Gregor around the room and started throwing apples at him. One of them got stuck in Gregor's back, and he blacked out.

prediction: That apple does not look good for Gregor. I doubt anyone will do anything about it.
