kafkaesque : 카프카적인, 부조리하고 암울한, 비극적인, 암울한, 악몽같은, 이상하고 비현실적인, 믿기어려운 현실인
1)
it means like the works of France Kafka, so what is that mean?
if something is kafkaesque, it's nightmare, it's surreal, it's frightening and weird, it' more powerful than you
if something is kafkaesque, it's like a muxture of reality and the unbelievable
something that is senseless and frightening and makes you worry about your future
it's like a distorted reality
2)
very often as well this is used to allude to bureaucracy being lost in a huge bureaucratic system that makes no sense and that is going to swallow you up
if someething is kafkaesque, it's unpleasant, frightening, confusing
a kafkaesque bureaucratic nightmare
the kafkaesque decisions made by my boss, they are surreal
they ar partly real but they are just absurd as well at the same time
they are very kafkaesque, something very comoplex but something illogical or something that is so complex that you can't find your way out of it
I think some of these mutually exclusive situations in bureaucracy
you can't enter the country unless you have a visa but you can't get a vissa unless you are in the country, this is kafkaesque
something that it's impossible
endless kafkaesque interrogations where they keep asking you questions
it's something that is disorientating, you don't know what to do , it's frightening
it makes you fear for the future
the events around the invasion of the American Capital are kafkaesque, they are frightening, they are complicated and they are surreal
it's somoething that you would see in a nightmare but it's difficult to believe that this is reality
3)
I think very often as well, they describe dystopias as kafkaesque where society has ended up in ridiculous situations because that's the way it's done and that's the way the rules tell us that we must do it
all of these characteristsics are typical of kafka's novels, kafka was a Czech writer from the beginning of 20th centruy, but things that ar kafkaesque it's impossible to understand and to make head or tail of them. and you are in danger of being swallowed up by them
the kafkaesque dress requirements for a dinner at the palace, some of the things that they require seem ridiculous
it seems like something that is never going to be of any use to you
so, kafkaesque it's saying that something is frightening, nightmarish, bizarre, illogical, just doesn't make sense, it's totally bizarre
I think particularly referrring to bureaucracy
there were kafkaesque delays in the application process, you applied but it would be five years before you heard the answer for it or ten year
a kafkaesque situation
4)
I think originally probably this word kafkaesque talks more about the lliterary stayle as well
the words and the way it's written that it gives you this mixture of real and unreal this feeling of impending doom and danger
Formality : 6.5
