Kafka knew both Czech and German but mainly spoke German. He lived in a time when Prague was dominated by a German-speaking populace, while the Czechs made up the working class. Since most of the power in Prague rested with German speakers, the Jews tended to identify with them. However, the German-speaking population didn’t consider the Jews to be a part of their group. Neither did the Czech speakers, who believed that the Jewish community was allied with the German speakers. Being a marginal member of an already marginalized community no doubt compounded the feelings of isolation and persecution Kafka seemed to feel as an individual. This sense of isolation may have also been magnified because he wasn’t a religious Jew. Those feelings, in turn, shaped his depiction of Gregor. The protagonist’s mysterious transformation into a bug dramatizes the feeling of living on the edge of various communities and not fully belonging to any of them.

Rudik [331]

Answer:

“Nature“ – Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Woman in the Nineteenth Century“ – Margaret Fuller  

“Walden“ – Henry David Thoreau

"Orphic Sayings" - Amos Bronson Alcott

Explanation:

<em>Nature </em>is a book written by Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 – 1882) published in 1836. The book has a form of an essay, where the author discusses the relationship between humans and nature. According to Emerson, a man should find a sense of his life in nature and the universe that surrounds him and forget about money and any material goods.

<em>Woman in the Nineteenth Century</em> is an essay book by Margaret Fuller (1810 – 1846), published in 1843. In this essay, Fuller explains a women's position in society and explains that they aren't less capable than men. She criticizes gender inequality and society for establishing gender hierarchies and restricting women's rights.

<em>Walden </em>(<em>Walden, or, Life in the Woods</em>) is a book that consists of 18 essays by Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), published in 1854. Walden describes how simple and pleasant our lives could be, based on his life in nature, in the cabin he built at Walden Pond.

<em>Orphic Sayings </em>is a book of 100 aphorisms by Amos Bronson Alcott (1799 – 1888), published in the transcendental journal <em>Dial </em>between 1840 and 1842. These sayings show us the mystical and transcendental idealism of Bronson Alcott and reveal some of his thoughts about life, nature, faith, time, etc.
