That is a really interesting question! I wondered the same thing myself. If his family really cared for him at all, wouldn't they have made some attempt to communicate with him? That was my first reaction and I think that would be the reaction of most people. Therefore, I think Kafka did this on purpose. I'm not sure what point he was trying to make, but it might have to do with your question. Was kafka trying to make the family look even more awful and thoughtless than they already did? Was he commenting on man's position as a cog in the machine, no one really cares about them, so no one really tries to communicate with them? i'm not really sure, but i think it is a really interesting point.
