Topic of the Day- Discussion on the life of Franz Kafka.
Franz Kafka's The Trial is one of the great philosophical novels of the 20th century. It follows Joseph K, an upper-middle-class citizen of a bizarre society where anyone can be put on trial at any moment with no explanation. They will not be told what they are accused of or how to defend themselves. In short, K lives in a world that has gone mad. And The Trial shows how K deals with his arrest, his trial, and his eventual fate.
Kafka's Metamorphosis is one of the most insightful writers about shame and its social effects ever. He excellently documents how good people can do evil things. The Metamorphosis follows Gregor Samsa, who by unknown magical means has been transformed into a giant beetle. The story follows his relationship with his family, the depths of his mind, and ultimately how shame can tear a person apart from the inside out.
