Castle
About This Novel
"The Castle" is Kafka's most distinctive and important novel: Land surveyor K was ordered to take up a post in a certain city, but was unexpectedly blocked outside the castle gate. Therefore, the protagonist K and the castle authorities launched a long and cumbersome tug-of-war over whether to enter the castle. The castle is located on a hill in front of us, but it is just out of reach; it is so cold and majestic, like a giant beast looking down at K; it represents a huge bureaucracy with a strict hierarchy, countless departments and countless officials, but there are countless documents that have been gathered there, unattended and unprocessed for many years. Faced with this powerful castle, K was helpless and did not enter the castle until the end, nor did he see the castle authority. The novel is shrouded in a mysterious and nightmarish atmosphere from beginning to end, with profound implications and endless evocative meanings.

Kafka, this name must be familiar to everyone, and the setting feels very familiar, but not necessarily now, because people nowadays rarely read this type of book, but maybe I am wrong, there are still many people who know it.
Castle, this word must be unfamiliar to no one. The castle is a place that many girls yearn for, because many girls must have fantasized about what they would be like when they were young. They all have a princess dream.
It turns out that this village belongs to the castle. I originally thought that this village has nothing to do with the castle. K originally wanted to enter this small village, but he couldn't because he didn't get the Duke's permission.
