The study examines the suffering of his characters psychologically through R. D. Laing and Debord and metaphysically through Schopenhauer and Buddhism. The essay focuses on texts such as &#8220;Metamorphosis&#8221;, &#8220;The Castle&#8221; and shorter works such as &#8220;A Country Doctor&#8221; and &#8220;The Judgement&#8221;.
