فرانز کافکا کے فکشن میں وجودیت

Abstract

Philosophy of existentialism is related to individual life, which is lived independently with all consciousness, awareness, internal states, personal emotions, and feelings. Due to the French Revolution, the First and Second World Wars, industrial development, cultural changes, and religious and spiritual decline, existential elements found their way into poetry and fiction. Franz Kafka's fictional literature describes the internal and external problems and confusions of an individual,which are caused by the chaos, disarray, atheism, decline of tradition and values, weak social, political, and economic structures. His stories contain existential elements such as dreamlike and nightmare atmosphere, absurdity, fear, terror, anxiety, anguish, death, meaninglessness, loneliness, alienation, skepticism, identity crisis, crime, inadequacy, strength, and hope. An atmosphere of unknown fear and anxiety pervades Franz Kafka's creative world. His characters are forever lost in endless mazes, driven by a rival force.
