Pushed oneself away from her somebody or something?
Hello everybody.
I am reading Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.
she suddenly cried out, ‘he’s already starting up
again.’ With a fright which was totally incomprehensible to
Gregor, the sister even left the mother, pushed herself away
from her chair, as if she would sooner sacrifice her mother
than remain in Gregor’s vicinity, and rushed behind her fa-
ther who, excited merely by her behaviour, also stood up
and half raised his arms in front of the sister as though to
protect her.
Would you please tell me what the bold part means? Does it mean the sister ran away from her mother?
Thanks ??
