Match the events from Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis to the themes they reflect.

The Absurdity of Life. The absurd event is Gregor’s waking up to discover he has turned into a giant insect, and since it’s so far beyond the boundaries of a natural occurrence, Gregor’s metamorphosis takes on a supernatural significance.

The Disconnect Between Mind and Body. Gregor’s transformation completely alters his outward appearance, but it leaves his mind unchanged, creating a discord, or lack of harmony, between his mind and body.

The Limits of Sympathy. After Gregor’s metamorphosis, his family members struggle with feelings of both sympathy and revulsion toward him.

Alienation. Perhaps the greatest consequence of Gregor’s metamorphosis is the psychological distance it creates between Gregor and those around him.
