The location of “The Castle” is impossible to place into any precise geographical point, it contains the whole world: The Castle is the prototype of Heaven, The Village – of the Earth. The realities of life are present only so far: the artistic space of the novel is limited to The Village and The Castle overlooking it, the artistic time changes irrationally and without any explanation. Containing literary traits of both modernism and existentialism, “The Castle” is, to the large extent, a metaphorical and even mythical work. In it, the writer raises an important theological problem of the path of the human being towards God.
“The Castle”, written by Franz Kafka in 1922, falls into the category of the most significant and enigmatic philosophical novels of the XX century.
