The Kafkaesque Absurdity of Modern Life: Lessons from The Metamorphosis and The Trial

Franz Kafka’s works, particularly The Metamorphosis and The Trial, remain eerily prescient in our contemporary world, casting an unsettling mirror on the absurdity of modern life. At the heart of Kafka’s work is a profound sense of alienation, which speaks to the disconnection many people feel today. Despite unprecedented access to information and technology, modern life often feels detached and impersonal, as if we’re navigating an endless maze of social, economic, and political structures that don’t make sense. In both The Metamorphosis and The Trial, Kafka’s protagonists are left alone to face their fates, abandoned by the people and systems they once trusted. This sense of abandonment—whether by family, society, or institutions—resonates deeply in a time when many feel increasingly isolated despite living in a hyperconnected world! Readings: Kafka, Franz.
