What theme does the following excerpt from Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis deal with?

Athe loneliness of human life
Bthe closeness between family members
Cthe absurdity of contemporary life
Dthe difficulty of making a living wage

Verified Answer :

AThe loneliness of human life.
Reasoning: The main character in The Metamorphosis struggles on his own to get out of bed as an insect, which could represent how sometimes individuals feel so miniscule in the world, and refuses anyone to see him in his state. The character's fear of somebody finding out about his condition, especially his family, shows the division between individuals and the rest of society, which is a sort of definition of isolation in itself.
