也论卡夫卡小说的荒诞性

评论界一般认为,卡夫卡小说的情节框架是想象的、梦幻的、超现实的,因此实际上他的小说具有“荒诞性”。这类观点没能完全理解“荒诞”这一范畴的内涵。实际上,用“荒诞性”来阐释卡夫卡的小说时,它主要是指称卡夫卡小说所表现的意义被颠倒、正义被颠倒的生存现实之特性。卡夫卡在情节、细节、语词等三个形象层面的构筑中,力图处处展示生存现实的荒诞性。

New Views on the Absurdity Contained by Franz Kafka's Fiction

Many critics remark Kafka's fiction containing absurd character, they may give a likely reason: the plots of Kafka's fiction are imaginary, dreamlike and out of reality. This kind of view has not recognized the connotation of absurdity, which is an intricate and philosophy concept. In my opinion, when we use the concept of absurdity to interpret Kafka's fiction, it means the conditions of the being conveyed by his fiction: significance be brought down, justice be brought down. Kafka intentionally constructed the images of his fiction with plots, details and words, and made the best use of his gifts to expose the absurdity of living reality.
