Gregor, the servant, is caught sitting in his master, Otto's, favorite
chair. |
 |
Immediately, Gregor stands. His status is initially much
lower than his master's. |
 |
As the servant's status rises, the master's status falls. |
 |
Once Gregor's status is higher than his master's, he
looks at the master confidently. |
 |
Otto begins to exhibit the nervous gestures characteristic
of a low status agent. |
 |
Now Gregor is the master. He orders Otto, now the servant,
to his position near the door. |
 |
Finally, Gregor relaxes in the chair while Otto waits by the
door for the master's commands. |
