Answer:

The theme of a close familial bond, closeness between family members.

Explanation:

The short story "The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka tells the story of one travelling salesman, Gregor's transformation into an insect one day. It tells the story of how his family dealt with this change.

The given excerpt in the question deals with the theme of the close bond of the family members. Though appearing different and maybe even disgusting, Gregor's sister made sure he's eating and that too, regularly. She made sure that he is provided food, even thinking about their parents' comfort, <em>"his sister wanted to spare them what distress she could as they were indeed suffering enough"</em>. The passage also mentions that his <em>"father and mother certainly did not want him to starve either"</em>, which shows how they still do care about their son even if he's now a different being.
