GIVING BRAINLIEST *Isolation is a major theme in Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis. Which two excerpts best reflect Gregor's isolated condition after his transformarion?

The two excerpts that best reflect Gregor's isolated condition after his transformation are:

Excerpt 1

Excerpt 2

Explanation:

The above are correct because:

In Excerpt 1, we discover that Gregor was "...lying in the darkness of his room where he could not be seen from the living room..." This actually depicted that Gregor was in an isolated condition. He was kept in his room and never wanted to be seen by anyone.  He remained there and just listened to their conversation from there.

In Excerpt 2, we discover that in Gregor's home "...all of them were usually very quiet nowadays..." This also depicted his isolation condition. It means that everyone in the house wasn't talking to him - the father just goes to sleep after dinner, the mother and sister just urge each other to be quiet.

The Metamorphosis is a story by Franz Kafka which tells the story of Gregor Samsa, a salesman who slept and woke up one morning and discovered that he has been transformed into a huge insect and struggles to adjust to this new condition.

the word that best matches the meaning of the expression "went to the big ocean" is died.

the goldfish died, which is why the father looks at the children mournfully. the "big ocean" is the father's way of saying fish heaven. he could have just said that the goldfish died, but this way, the children imagine the fish in a bigger, better place instead of just picturing a dead fish.
