Sorry for the late post, in terms of the judgement Kafka utilized a very unique relationship between a father and his son. The most puzzling part of the story was the suicide of the son. It made me question whether this entire intercourse was inside the protagonist's head. What I thought was that the friend in Russia was his father and that the father in the story was his conscience. I thought it was really interesting that Kafka utilized such dramatic relationships between the characters in order to get a point across.
Areesha: Good points, but remember that you're supposed to critique Crumb's illustration in this blog post. Do you think Crumb sees the story as occurring in Georg's head?
