characters introduced: cleaning woman
three important events:
Gregor had now been suffering from the wound for over a month. No one dared to remove it. It seemed to have reminded the family that Gregor was still their son. They swallowed their disgust and continued to endure him.
All three of Gregor's mother, father, and sister had jobs now. They worked constantly; his father practically lived in his uniform. No one had time to properly take care of Gregor. Sometimes Gregor spent days and nights with almost no sleep at all. His sister hurriedly shoved bits of food through his door every morning, and took it away in the evening without checking to see whether he'd ate it or not.
The family got into an argument about who should clean Gregor's room and his mother and sister started crying. Tears had been frequently shed by the women of the household as of late.
The family got a new cleaning lady who saw Gregor one day, but wasn't all that startled by him.
prediction: The injury and neglect might be slowly killing him.
