The images of the father in correspondence of Franz Kafka

The main aim of the thesis is to acquaint with Franz Kafka as a writer of many letters, in which he reflected his thoughts about his father, Hermann Kafka. The general introduction is oriented towards the examination of the father?s character in a classical expressionism style. The second part is devoted to the elaboration on the relationship between father and son seen within the pieces of Franz Kafka. This is followed by the analysis of the correspondence between Franz Kafka, Felicia Bauer and Milena Jesenská. Kafka had a private relation to both women, and therefore we can look for the notes about his father in the correspondence. The final parts are dedicated to the equally important letters to Kafka?s parents and his sister Ottla. Within these letters, we can compare the author?s correspondence in general and the effigy of the father in the particular letters
