Overview

When collective rationality creates an organized civilization for human beings, the "Castle" in real life is in fact everywhere, and is even taken as a guideline by many people, making modern life a collection of nightmares. If "Metamorphosis" reveals the "alienation" of human beings under the persecution of capitalist society, and "Judgement" shows the existence of original sin, then "The Castle" successfully constructs a modern dilemma in which "authority" overrides human nature with its labyrinthine structure. K, the protagonist, out of his own free will, takes the initiative to continue to penetrate into the labyrinth of constant denials, and tries again and again to transcend it, which may serve as a model for the souls of modern people in the twenty-first century to continue to struggle. The powerlessness and pessimism that Kafka felt from the life under the late Austro-Hungarian Empire was materialized into a novel that deeply influenced the thinking of future generations, and no one could refuse to inherit his vision of the world.
