  • Oedipus and Joseph K.
    Vrečko, Janez
    We could be forgiven for asking why Joseph K. was one of those modern heroes who took root, to the point of us identifying with him. We see our own fate in his, our own life's "trial". This same ... question however applies equally well to Hamlet and Oedipus. These, too, are our "alter egos": the latter in particular still stands for "the most versatile work of world literature" (Lesky 48). This work not only influenced Shakespeare but no doubt others as well. We shall argue that Franz Kafka was one of those. Philosophical questions about guilt and punishment, liberty, decision making, agency and death have the same weight in Kafka as they do in Sophocles. The similarities between the two are astounding, even though it might be difficult to perceive them at first sight, according to Dönt. A comparison of the two texts is therefore bound to open up new layers of understanding of "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles.
