The palace

The castle by Franz Kafka ... The novel The Castle by Franz Kafka is one of the most important creations of 20th-century literature. The main idea of the novel revolves around human alienation — wherever he is — inside a complex society with intertwined relationships dominated by an obscure, oppressive, and authoritarian overpowering force that makes the modern human feel helpless, powerless, and deprived of freedom and security. The hero of the novel The Castle is Kafka himself, who symbolizes its hero with the first letter of his name (K), the expatriate citizen, whether within the framework of his family relations or in the broader circles of society. This is the same idea that Kafka addressed in his other works, such as "The Trial" and "The Metamorphosis." Kafka, the lawyer, is in fact the bank employee in "The Trial," the sales representative in "The Metamorphosis," and he is the surveyor in "The Castle."
