Question

What theme do these two excerpts from Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis have in common?

Answer 1

When looking at both excerpts, there are a few themes that can be seen within them.  However, there is one that the two have in common.  In the first excerpt there is mention of the provision of a good life for his sister and parents.  In the second excerpt there is mention of the provision of the demonstration of patience and consideration for this family.  We can see in both excerpts that this is done out of a sense of responsibility Gregor has for his kin.  As such, “D” is the most appropriate response as the theme these two excerpts have in common is the sense of duty toward one’s family.
