无奈之下的选择——卡夫卡三部小说中的“桥”意象

A Choice without Alternative --On the Image of Bridge in Kafka＇s Three Novels

卡夫卡的小说中充满了意象。桥是一种建筑物，它能沟通两地，它所代表的抽象含义则是交流和沟通。而在卡夫卡的小说《审判》、《判决》和《桥》中，桥却没有起到沟通的作用而是把人推向了另一个极端，那就是封闭、毁灭和死亡。

There is full of image in Kafka＇s novel. I＇ll analyze the image of bridge in this article. As a kind of building, it can connect two places and it also represents communication and understanding. But the bridge doesn＇t mean communication in Kafka＇s novel Trial, The Judgment and Bridge, it makes people go to another extreme. The extreme is self--contained destruction and death.
