How Big Is It?
Kafka's
own utterances actually hardly help the story to deuten.Er represents
the very existence of the friend in question in Russia , the friend
"maybe rather what the Father and George have in common " is . He mentions " the thought of Freud , of course ," without dwelling on psychological contexts and to seek explanation.Max
Brod reported that Kafka had thought the last sentence of the story
with the " almost endless traffic " over the bridge to a strong
ejaculation. This can provide the surprising interpretation variant that the
judgment constitutes a symbolic umbilical cord from the parental home
and (ie, the stream of life ) which is a becoming one with the " endless
traffic " , located outside worldIn the night of 22 23 September 1912 succeeded Kafka, to bring the story The judgment in just eight hours in a course on paper. In the later case the Literature Kafka has found a blow thematically and stylistically to himself . Kafka
, however, first electrified the never so intensely experienced act of
writing ( " the only way to be written only in such a context , with
such complete opening of the body and of the soul" ) , as well as the
unrelenting action of the story , even after repeated ( private ) reading - not only the audience but also for him selfThe judgment led Kafka's first longer a creative phase , and the second followed about two years later. Thus,
at the same time indicates a problem that was not resolved with his
artistic breakthrough , and even emerged more sharply : between the
phases of literary fertility Kafka suffered under - usually longer -
periods of drought , in which case full one and a half years. For
this reason alone remained an existence as "bourgeois writers " who
with his work, plus can nourish his own family , his life at an
unreachable distance for him. His
professional obligations may not necessarily have been the reason for
writing obstacles , Kafka had his creative peak periods often ,
especially in times of external deterioration (such as in the second
half of 1914 due to the outbreak of war ) . Moreover, Kafka knew with his strategy of " maneuver - life" - which
meant : morning office hours , in the afternoon sleeping, night letter -
to defend their freedom as well.One
other popular thesis according to Kafka's life and writing of the
origin of the judgment was characterized in that he sacrificed the One
the other, so that he renounced ordinary life , to devote himself
entirely to writing . For this stylization he delivers himself in diaries and letters abundant material.How
distressing , however, writing for him was often following diary entry
is again : Almost no word that I write, everything fits , I hear string
together the consonants and the vowels sing along tinny as exhibition
Negro . My doubts are to each word in a circle , I see them before the word , but what then! I see the word at all, I invent it .
