Please answer the following questions about Kafka’s story “The Judgement” • The main character, Georg, is emotionally ambivalent towards his father – what is the ambivalence? (In other words: what are the two conflicting ways he feels about his father, according to the interpretation we developed?)
• Georg’s father also appears in two very different ways in the story: one way in the first part of the story, and a very different one in the second part. Explain.
• The dualities and repeated instances of ambivalence in the story contribute to an atmosphere that we have come to call “Kafkaesque”. Please explain in your own words, based on how it was explained in the lecture and the live classes we had
