The Metamorphosis
When does Gregor finally lose hope
part 1
part 1
In Part 1, I would say this happens when Gregor's father picks up a walking stick and waves it while hissing and stamping his feet in order to drive Gregor into his room. Gregor tries to back up but can't, finally attempting to turn around slowly. When he cannot fit through the door and gets stuck, his father pushes him from behind and slams the door behind him.
