Explanation:
This is the excerpt that could reveal a possible theme of the story. In this excerpt, we learn about a boy named Gregor Samsa. Gregor seems to belong to a simple family that does not have a lot of money. However, one day he is awakened to find that he is now rich. This leads him to appreciate the smiple life he previously had. Based on this excerpt, we can conclude that one possible theme of the story would be that money does not buy anything, or alternatively, that we never know how lucky we are until we lose what we valued the most.
