While up to this point, Gregor Samsa has lamented his status as a human being, even going so far as to wish that he had taken the form of a fish or a sunflower instead, the feelings he experiences for the young disabled locksmith cause him to decide he is happy to be human. This turn of events underscores a main theme of the story, namely that even the prospect of love provides a counterweight to the pain inherent in living.
