I’m a Kafka

>>24942589
You're a faggot
>>
>>24942589
Nice to meet you, Kafka, I'm Dad.
>>
>>24942589
I'm one of them, but I honestly can't figure out which.
>>
>>24942589
Right is based. Left is cringe.
>>
>>24942589
Dosto didn't think he was better than everyone else, whoever made this "meme" is an illiterate who never read him.
>>
>>24942711
i think it's more about theur characters. raskolnikov thinks he's better than everyone else.
>>
>>24942589
in practice these are usually two sides of the same coin. but as this guy says >>24942711, that screenshot is just illiterate engagement bait so who cares.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
*jumps into water and drowns*

Ok.. that's only one character... what about all of the others, retard?

Which author is the choice for "average person but society is the problem?"

Both are based for speaking their minds.
>>
>>24942812
Notes from the underground is the best known example, but there’s no lack of arrogance in a lot of his characters
>>
>>24942589
Both feelings are completely related btw, to all the retards picking sides. You experience both if you experience either.

Wtf is wrong with m*n and why do they become like this?

Keep ignoring all of his other kinds of characters, moron.

>jewish neuroticism vs snownigga neuroticism
i'd rather be black thank you very much
>>
>>24942589
Neither. I'm abroad and the culture here just doesn't fit me. Back home I'm more of a Kafka.
>>
I'm lonely because I'm very idiosyncratic. I don't really attach a value judgement to it

>>24942589
The right. I have never experienced the left.

You have.

Lmao

>>24942589
People sure are seething about good old Dostoy, but he never felt like he was better than others. Quite the opposite, he always beat himself down over not being able to live up to his ideals.

>>24942602

Hubris and self hatred are two sides of the same coin. I don't feel like the worst person in the world, nor do I feel like I'm better than everyone else.
>>
>>24942589
I'm not lonely.

social media dudes really want to feel smart by namedropping authors they've clearly never read and it's embarrasing.

ivan karamazov and pyotr stepanovitch too

I'm better than Dostoevsky but worse than Kafka

Are you suggesting a superiority complex is nothing more than the other side of the shitty coin of an inferiority complex??!
Because if so, I would agree with you.

If you are alluding to Dostoevsky’s worst novels, then, indeed, I dislike intensely The Brothers Karamazov and the ghastly Crime and Punishment rigamarole. No, I do not object to soul-searching and self-revelation, but in those books the soul, and the sins, and the sentimentality, and the journalese, hardly warrant the tedious and muddled search. Dostoyevsky’s lack of taste, his monotonous dealings with persons suffering with pre-Freudian complexes, the way he has of wallowing in the tragic misadventures of human dignity – all this is difficult to admire. I do not like this trick his characters have of ”sinning their way to Jesus” or, as a Russian author, Ivan Bunin, put it more bluntly, ”spilling Jesus all over the place." Crime and Punishment’s plot did not seem as incredibly banal in 1866 when the book was written as it does now when noble prostitutes are apt to be received a little cynically by experienced readers. Dostoyevsky never really got over the influence which the European mystery novel and the sentimental novel made upon him. The sentimental influence implied that kind of conflict he liked—placing virtuous people in pathetic situations and then extracting from these situations the last ounce of pathos. Non-Russian readers do not realize two things: that not all Russians love Dostoevsky as much as Americans do, and that most of those Russians who do, venerate him as a mystic and not as an artist. He was a prophet, a claptrap journalist and a slapdash comedian. I admit that some of his scenes, some of his tremendous farcical rows are extraordinarily amusing. But his sensitive murderers and soulful prostitutes are not to be endured for one moment—by this reader anyway. Dostoyevsky seems to have been chosen by the destiny of Russian letters to become Russia’s greatest playwright, but he took the wrong turning and wrote novels.

Honestly I can see why Kafka never wanted any of his work published. I thought it was edgy and cool when I was kid but now I can hardly stand his woe-is-me pansy ass crying interspersed with his weirdo gooner fantasies of fucking some poor servingwoman or whatever.

I’m a Georg Trakl

>The murderer smiles palely in wine,
Death's horror grips the sick.
Excoriated and naked, the nun prays
Before the Savior's agony on the cross.

>The mother sings quietly in sleep.
Peacefully the child looks into the night
With eyes that are completely truthful.
In the whorehouse laughter rings.

>By candlelight down in the cellar hole
The dead one paints with white hand
A grinning silence on the wall.
The sleeper whispers still.
>>
>>24942589
Why did these two authors in particular attract so many pseuds and retards?
>>
>>24942791
this is the kind of shitpositng that keeps me from leaving this board
