He is a writer who was engaged 3 times in his life, but dissolved his marriage contract 3 times, and finally died of tuberculosis and starved to death! The ending is embarrassing!
I have never released a work before I am alive, but I can affect the world after my death!
He is Franz Kafka
Born in 1883 to a Jewish merchant family, Kafka entered Prague University at the age of 18 to study literature and law, and began writing in 1904, consisting of four collections of short stories and three novels.
Unfortunately, most of them were not published during his lifetime, and none of the three full-length novels were written. He lived in a time when the Austro-Hungarian Empire was about to collapse and had always been on the sidelines of political events.
Therefore, most of his works use deformed and absurd images and symbolic intuition to express isolated and desperate individuals surrounded by hostile social environments.
Three engagements, but three dissolved marriages, which is extremely closely related to Kafka's family education!
In particular, Kafka's father, Hermann Kafka, made Kafka more immersed in literary creation in order to express his repressed emotions in his heart.
His father, Hermann Kafka, was a successful businessman and a tyrant with no warmth, often harassing and rebuking his clerks.
Even his children are reprimanded by him every day, and he thinks they should behave better and be grateful to him.
His authoritarian methods of discipline made Kafka psychologically under authoritarian pressure from an early age.
Yet he had only contemptuous mockery of his sons, and only contempt for what Franz Kafka was passionate about.
And the end result was only one - the already shy boy became more introverted and almost stopped talking.
In 1912, at the age of 29, Kafka met Phyllis and began a long-distance relationship, and the two exchanged letters. Love once became the inspiration for Kafka's writing. The relationship between the two warmed up. Later engaged in Berlin. But only a month has passed. Kafka dissolved the marriage.
It's just that this emotional entanglement is not over yet. Six months after the dissolution of the marriage. Kafka and Phyllis meet again, and the two begin another two-year affair.
[Breeze] In 1917, the two were engaged for the second time. After Kafka was diagnosed with tuberculosis. He dissolved the marriage again.
Kafka and Phyllis' emotional entanglement and mutual torment lasted for years. It was also the main period of Kafka's creation. Fear is also an entry point for exploring his work.
He wrote in his work, "I feel my incompetence in marriage, fear of union, fear of losing to each other."
Kafka was pessimistic about marriage. The inferiority in his heart made him feel that he could not take on the responsibility of marriage, and Kafka never gave up the pursuit of love.
[Breeze] in 1920. At the age of 37, he is engaged to another girl, Julie. The ending is still the same, Kafka dissolves the marriage contract for the third time.
From the perspective of Franz Kafka's life, in addition to being controlled by Austria-Hungary because of their Jewish identity, Jews were often deported and persecuted in other countries, thus lacking a sense of belonging.
Secondly, his father's lack of understanding and contempt for Franz Kafka's mental control seriously hurt Kafka, making him socially fearful, marriage-phobic and even invisible depression.
[Rose] learned from this that the importance of family education, parents' understanding and appreciation of children is undoubtedly the best nutrition for children's growth!
Finally, a quote from Franz Kafka:
Heart is a house with two bedrooms. One lives in pain, the other with joy. People can't laugh too loudly. Otherwise laughter will wake up the pain in the next room. #Reading temperature# #Emotional emotion# #社会 #
