    She was still longing for relationship, for loving attention … he, the eternal hunter. Better not to get comfortable … or worse, too uncomfortable. “Impaled” was a telling word.

    Yet another one of Kafka's archetypal stories; a boisterous, imposing, narcissistic and neurotic father who till the end of his days tries his hardest to emotionally blackmail and control his offspring. The control seems centralised in a more physical fashion, during his prime. Which gradually turns into a sort of emotional blackmail and pity seeking devilry as his hair turn grey and his palour withers. The son despite having grown up physically and becoming more than capable of rejecting this arguably father figure, finds himself more entrenched into a seeming moral obligation as a son to nurture the tyrannical old fool. This moral obligation is but exploited by the shrewd parent. And the end of which is quite the substance for modernist domestic tragedies. A parasitic father plaguing the life of an underdeveloped son's persona. Like termite, eating his hollowed existence from within. It is quite chilling the son ended his life impulsively, overcome by the verbal assualt of his father. And a fitting kafka-esque imagery is produced forth as we realise the dying of Georg would be drowned in the noise of the bustling city life. Absolutely ignored.

  • @rhobot75

    .. Going with a kind of Modernist alienation reflection where Georg is having a dream or daydream where the older generation feels the younger generation is to be railed against. To wit, Georg used to be an able gymnast and in sync with his parents but now they project their fears onto him and he knows it. This is one view. Also, I was a JOE FRANK fan and I can hear echoes to Joe's radio shows, absurdist and alienated. Anyway, it's like we are witnessing the million thoughts in a nanosecond as Georg wonders if Killing Himself NOW would ever satisfy his father. As a person who's contemplated it for feeling so empty in the center of being, I vibed with this story, I wonder if Georg also suffered some Borderline personality stuff too after WW1. Anyhoo.....
