Money is a clear motif in the novel; it plays a major role in the Samsa family. After Gregor discovers his abrupt and traumatic transformation, he immediately worries about losing his job, one that he is not too fond of. The only reason Gregor continues to work for his boss is so he can pay off his parents' debt. Gregor is the only person in the family who works, which is bizarre and frustrating for Gregor since their debts truly affect the well-being of his family. Unfortunately, Gregor is left with the burden of being utterly responsible for paying these debts. In addition, the office manager proclaims that the chief suspects Gregor of stealing from the company, while Gregor's mother entreats the office manager, telling him what a loyal and hardworking employee Gregor is.
