Play An Important Role Franz Kafka
1,090 wordsThe tremendous world I have inside my head. But how free myself and free it without being torn to pieces. And a thousand times rather be torn to pieces than retain it in me or bury it. That, indeed, is why I am here, that is quite clear to me. " Reading such an imaginative author can make you think about the different reasons this author expresses himself in the way he does in his writings.

Open The Door Gregor Samsa
814 wordsDespite appearances which may seem to promote a sense of comedy, Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis actually contains an enormous quantity of symbolism, which serves to underscore several literal events which may have taken place in said story. Within the novella, many literary techniques are employed in order to contribute to the depth of the story line, with symbolism being the most prevalent, though not the sole method. These other literary tools are secondary in their nature, but they remain qu...

Point Of View Franz Kafka
564 wordsIt has been said that Man revolts against his condition first by understanding it and then, in the face of his cosmic meaninglessness creating his own human meaning. To me, this means that a person has no meaning until he understands he has no meaning and only when this understanding occurs is when he creates his own personal meaning. Two books, which support my point of view, are The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka and The Plague by Albert Camus. These two stories use setting, plot structure and s...

Franz Kafka Hunger Artist
1,045 wordsBeginning my response I would like to say first that I really enjoyed this book. I believe that from four stories that Kafka combined together "A Hunger Artist" is by far the most celebrated and studied. This story really feels at once dream-like and utterly real; no such hunger artist could exist as Kafka describes it, yet all the events and feelings in the story seem true to life. The ending of Franz Kafka's The Hunger Artist at first glance it seemed to me to be lacking something. The Artist ...

The Metamorphosis By Franz Kafka
646 wordsThe Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka Gregor's relationship with his sister in the story The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka is laudable and admirable. Early on as Gregor transforms into an insect, Kafka portrays Grete, the sister as someone with a great capacity for help and heal. Maturity places a big factor here because she cushions the family members from the trauma that the family is suffering from as the author pens, "Certainly they did not want him to starve either, but perhaps they would not hav...

Story Of A Dream Franz Kafka The Metamorphosis Emrich
793 wordsWilhelm Emrich has presented an unimaginative and misleading critical essay of Franz Kafka s The Metamorphosis. Emrich s failure to make any daring insights provides much protection against any real opposition, but also serves to evince his occasional blunders all the more. The apparent focus of Emrich s essay is the beetle. Emrichcomments on various scenes involving Gregor the bug, but never sticks his neck out or attempts to express any views that may spark any controversy. However, the essay ...

Franz Kafka Penal Colony Apparatus
435 wordsIn The Penal Colony By Franz Kafka The complication of the human brain goes beyond the need to keep traditions. We live in a world of transitions, based on moralistic facts and materialistic predominance. The evolution of man is no longer the overcoming of itself, but the universal answer to its own meaning. Can we control ourselves? Or it is just a whim to be someone. To know oneself, one should assert oneself. Psychology is action, not thinking about oneself. We continue to shape our personali...
