Metamorphosis up to page 45

I read up to page 45 of metamorphosis and it was good. This section was all about Gregors relations with the family. The section ending was seriously awesome (I stopped on page 47). It ended with Gregor being enticed by Gretes violin playing, the lodgers seeing him, them saying they've wouldn't pay and the father closing and locking the door to do I don't know what with them. Gregors reaction to the music was extremely emotional even for a human-he really felt strong love and admiration for his sister.  this whole section was about how Gregor was still wanting to interact like a human, and that's very significant. Also, Gregor is dying from various wounds, specifically the apple lodged in his back. Quite ironic. I'm really enjoying this book. It's a quick read, it's deep, and its subtle. I would like to read it in German, tha would be fun.
