some hurried steps and the sound of the door leading into the
front room being carefully shut had woken him.

actually was that had drawn him over to it, it was the smell of
something to eat. by the door there was a dish filled with

everything and stayed there immobile.

dressed in copious fur

Explanation:

Franz Kafka's short story "The Metamorphosis" tells the story of how Gregor Samsa's transformation into bug changed/ruined not only his own life but that of his whole family. The story also revolves on the theme of acceptance and what's deemed acceptable or not in a society.

Gregor's transformation had not been literally seen by his mother though she knows he's changed into something. She also knows that this change renders him unable to go anywhere outside of the house. So, when she and Grete were moving the furniture around, she saw Gregor on the painting. She immediately fell down unconscious, showing her shock at her son's new identity. This scene shows her attitude regarding her son's changed image/body.
