试析《变形记》中的存在主义

Existentialism in Metamorphosis

卡夫卡的《变形记》讲述了主人公格里高尔在一觉醒来后变成甲虫的荒诞故事。小说通过对主人公格里高尔的异化以及毁灭的描述,表现了人类生存的困境,揭示了现代社会对人性的挤压和扭曲,反映了卡夫卡对西方近现代理性主义文化价值的忧虑、恐惧和不满,传达了他植根于西方社会的强烈的危机意识和深刻的悲剧意识以及对冷酷荒诞世界的谴责和控诉。

Metamorphosis tells an absurd story that the hero Gregor becomes an insect one morning. Through the description of Gregor＇ s dissimilation, the story displays man＇s existing predicament and shows that human nature has been distorted by the modern society. In this way, Kafka wants to express his worry and dissatisfaction for rationalism in western neoteric and modern society, convey his crisis awareness and tragic sense rooted in the western society, and highlight his denunciation to the absurd world.
