There is a loud knocking at the door. (One of the pieces of Gregor has now become his employer.)The employer is standing in front of the door to the flat. He is impatient. He knocks again.There is confusion and panic inside. Mr Samsa looks through the peep-hole as he did before.

This scene then crosses to a flash-back to memories of moments in Gregor’s life.

Gregor’s boss arrives again offering a prayer for Gregor.
