Kafka makes commentary on so many topics and levels through this story. Glad I saved this video in my watch later list and finally made time to read this story. Great analysis and bring MusiqueMacabre back soon!
I was intending to read "The Penal Colony", put the idea fell to the wayside. Thanks for reminding me. It's now at the top of my reading list.
Today, July 3rd is Kafka's birthday. I just completed a book of his short stories,this was my favorite,most thought provoking story. It raises so many issues with the treatment of prisoners,and Societies morals about crime and punishment. I felt such anxiety,and fear for the condemned man who wasn't even aware as to why he was receiving further punishment,not even a trial was given for him.. The officer was a sadistic,control freak,he couldn't accept the travelers answer to his question of accepting this way of punishment, he (the traveler) simply said "No". So..he sacrifices himself knowing he can't conform to the "New Order". The traveler always felt that he shouldn't interfere,that's why I was shocked that he admitted to the Officer of his distaste for this way of punishment with a torture device. I thoroughly enjoyed your guest, he totally shared my thoughts on this story,and a lot of the morals in question. It amazes me how humans delight in sadistic forms of punishment as far back as The Roman Coliseum,to Charles Dickens book "A Tale Of Two Cities" with the excitement of the use of The Guillotine, and... to this very day as Una pointed out people signing up to watch executions in prison. Truman Capote was asked by the two killers in his book "In Cold Blood" to attend their hanging,he reluctantly did so,and it has been said he was never the same after witnessing their hanging. I could talk about this story for hours.Thank you for this video ! Cindy 📚
Great way to spend the third! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I always enjoy reading them 😃

I’m back from reading!! Such a fantastic analysis and I love how you tied religion, totalitarianism and old world ideals like sexism into this!
When I read it I immediately thought of the tradition way of giving birth and the care of women in mainstream hospitals. A lot of practices are bad for the mother and children, but are done anyway out of convenience, because there is short staff, or because it was the way things have always been done and it is expected that women will be in excruciating pain. I’m going to expand more on this when I type up the analysis, but overall I saw this as a major theme too and I think it’s because I recently went through it and could see elements here that I saw in labor.
Thank you for a wonderful discussion! Franz Kafka is great!! 🤩
Very exciting. Are you typing up the analysis for something particular?
@@TheCodeXCantina I’m doing it for fun! Going on a kafka read through this summer and I’ve found some great stories! I am halfway through the castle and I don’t think he ends up making it to the castle! That’s my prediction!
2:12 i love how i was like "jordan peele!"
Oh my! This is wonderful! I am so excited to read this one. I’m working on a new leaf now. I had to stop after ten minutes because I don’t want to know too much about the story before reading, but I will go back and watch! 😊
I for sure agree that Kafka writes in layers. It’s like what are the characters/story saying without even knowing what it is saying. Kafka is brilliant when it comes to explaining the unexplainable human emotions and actions. 🤩 ahhh so glad you all covered Franz Kafka!!!
Yes indeed! I hope you enjoy the story!
This is so great! I have always read this story in light of what is talked about around the 44 minute mark. It is difficult not to insert Kafka's relationship with his father within his stories after reading any biography of his (especially the three volumes by Reiner Stach--if you are ever interested in a biography, I would highly recommend those). I will have to go check out this performance! Thank you!!!
Thanks! Perhaps I'll have to get to it one day!
Awesome talk thanks lads !
Our pleasure!
Are you kidding me, I literally just read this story today
Interesting timing!
My choice for directing a film adaption is David Cronenberg, the master of body-horror.
Excellent!
You took the words right out of my mouth ! Cronenberg is the only director for Kafka,just look at him !
Thanks!
👍
The penal colony sounds like French Guiana.See the book ‘Dry Guillotine.”
Thanks for the recommendation
Snyder not.
Burn after reading guy is good
In my translation it was kind of dead pan .
Alan poe or somebody wrote someone visiting an insane asylum.
But this one may be more brutal
Extremely intense!
