Josef K has been employed as a surveyor by an unknown entity from the castle and told to report for duty at an unknown village.
Despite sharing many features with Kafka’s earlier work, “The Trial”, it contains additional elements such as degrees of humour as well as loving relationships between the protagonist and other characters. It is a long and gruelling read as Kafka takes us on a steady journey of Josef K’s life in a surreal setting and situation where you never quite know if the journey will provide any meaning or progression. “If a man has his eyes bound, you can encourage him as much as you like to stare through the bandage, but he’ll never see anything.”įranz Kafka’s final novel, “The Castle”, is a typically Kafkaesque story incorporating themes of alienation, frustration and bureaucracy.
