Content Blog 7: Kafka's writing contributes to understanding of empire

Kafka was born into a middle class German speaking Jewish family in Prague. He wrote a lot of letters throughout his life, but he liked to draw more than writing. His writings were gothic, but some of his works were influenced by the expressionist movement. He revolves around concepts of struggle, pain, solitude, and the need for relationships. The museum showed some of Kafka's drawings in how he would fall into nothingness. I think this is very gothic not knowing where he goes.
