After Gregor Samsa's death, his body is removed by the charwoman.
The Charwoman's Role in Gregor's Demise
In a stark and unsentimental act, it is the charwoman who discovers and disposes of Gregor's remains. Following his death, she takes it upon herself to remove his body from the room.
- Discovery and Removal: The charwoman finds Gregor's lifeless body and proceeds to remove it from the room, treating it much like rubbish.
- Interaction with the Family: She informs the Samsa family that they do not need to concern themselves with the body, alleviating them of the task. However, she does not disclose the exact method or location of the disposal.
- Assumed Disposal: Although the specific details of her actions remain unstated, it is widely assumed that she simply threw the body away, consistent with her treating it as mere refuse. This act underscores the family's detachment and Gregor's ultimate dehumanization.
