Third Person

Explanation:

In 1850 Nathaniel Hawthorn published a book called The Scarlet Letter where he describes the life of a woman Hester Prynne.   Hester had mothered a child she named Pearl Pearl.  In the novel, Hester struggled to live a life free of shame and disgrace she had gotten for birthing a child out of an affair and not a true marriage. The reason why Hester was not able to put the affair behind her or hold it close was because she was made to wear the red letter A on her chest so that all may know of her infraction. The true twist came when Mr Dimsdale, who had given her much grief was also found to be wearing a letter A as well and had lived a life of guilt and fear.

one of the most interesting characteristics of gregor's metamorphosis is that, although he is the only character who has physically changed, it is this same change which triggered a transformation in the rest of his family.

by taking care of gregor, grete has become stronger and more confident. she has found a life outside of the house, and has become more independent and self-sufficient. the novel implies that the trigger for the change is gregor's own transformation, and that without it, grete was likely to remain as shy and immature as she was at the beginning of the book.
