In order to understand the positive impacts on Gregor, it is important to know how he was before the metamorphosis. The transformation changes quite a bit about Gregor's personality. Before metamorphosing, he is a hard-working, caring man. Gregor supports his family by himself by surrounding himself with his work. Doing this, he loses time for relationships and even loses time for thinking about himself. Also, Gregor is so distracted by trying to give his family everything they could ever want that he doesn't have time to consider what he really wants. He even went to the extend of planning to "send her [Grete] to the conservatory next year even though it would cause great expense that would have to made up for in some other way" (14).
