Talking about Franz Kafka and The Metamorphosis. The story also delves into the absurdity of life, a theme common in existentialist literature. The inexplicable transformation, the family’s irrational behavior, and the lack of a clear resolution all contribute to an atmosphere of absurdity. There’s no rhyme or reason to Gregor’s situation; it simply is. This can be seen as a reflection of the arbitrary, often nonsensical nature of life itself. #booktok #booktoker #franzkafka #kafka #metamorphosis #themetamorphosis #literature #bookrecommendations #bookrecs #postmodern #criticaltheory

Carl Jung is one of the most quotable thinkers ever. Here's one of the wisest and most thought provoking quotes I've come across. "The dream is a little hidden door in the innermost and most secret recesses of the soul, opening into that cosmic night which was psyche long before there was any ego consciousness, and which will remain psyche no matter how far our ego-consciousness extends." From the psychotherapist, Carl Jung. I think this touches on something that many of us have difficulty grappling with...the idea that we will always have these unconscious and unexamined drives and desires as part of our psyche. We will have unexamined essences. An interpretation of Jung is that the unconscious isn't some passive reservoir in our psyche's, it's an active, self-producing entity. So, we become a complex layering of narratives, meanings, and interpretations influenced by external and internal factors, including the unconscious that is sometimes accessed by our dreams. #carljung #carljungpsychology #carljungquotes #philosophytiktok #philosophytok #philosophytoker #criticaltheory #jungian #psychoanalysis
