Explain how Kafka's writing contributes to your understanding of the Gothic
Kafka had a very dark mind that was disarray and confused, he had many characteristics that a typical Gothic character would have. this was represented really well in the Kafka museum by the dark lighting and confusing pathways through the museum Kafka contributes to my understand of the Gothic because he created the idea of Kafkaesque in his writing, this is where there is no avail and no ending, solution or climax but the reader feels as though he is getting toward the solution but is almost always let down. This help my understanding because the idea of Kafkaesque is used in many other pieces also. Kafka helped to influence other writing such as Madness of Angles where the character wonders the streets of London endlessly.
