القانون القبلي في دراسات المستشرقين كارل بروكلمان أنموذجاً

Franz Kafka, in his incomplete novel The Castle, constantly confuses readers and critics; it is a subsequently revised work concerning a surveyor named K., who wants to attain the Castle's power and is continually unsuccessful. This paper argues that readings of Franz Kafka's The Castle that emphasize the author's absence or efficient elimination are particularly suitable. Kafka scholarship, or readers, during reading The Castle through the theoretical framework of Roland Barthes' "The Death of the Author," understands how textual indeterminacy in the book is an aesthetic and ethical feature that shifts meaning in the interpretive community, narrative structures, and the text itself. It is not just because this novel is an incomplete narrative or due to editorial intervention. The novel's formal techniques, bureaucratic opacity, K.'s halted search, and close readings of narrative gaps suggest that meaning is not derived from a permanent authorial center but rather from textual play, institutional language, and readerly negotiation. The Castle by Franz Kafka shows author absence, while it is unfinished work. Utilizing Barthes makes clear that the author works as a classificatory impact rather than a definitive source. The outcome is a work that needs interpretive responsibility: readers must ignore disagreements and contradictions. The absence of the author emphasizes the literal and ethical importance of The Castle rather than decreasing its literary worth. The study concludes that the author's absence in The Castle not only disrupts the pursuit of a definitive interpretation but also offers a critical examination of interpretation and authority that remains vital to contemporary literary theory.
