The Castle in its authoritative grasp and un-reachability is likened to the pursuit of meaning or the journey to transcendence. The protagonist, K, is on an obscure, incomprehensible and largely unexplained journey to reach the Castle, the pursuit is tedious, exasperating and ultimately impossible. A surreal, dream-like atmosphere and logic emanate and reverberate throughout the novel, the Castle is trapped somewhere in time and history. This project aims to critically respond to and reinterpret Franz Kafka’s literary work, The Castle through furthering the concepts, themes and motifs embedded in the novel as well as by reference to Deleuze and Guattari’s deconstruction of Kafka.
