of Gianni Quilici story written just two days in 1912 and, as reported in Diaries and letters by the author, a decisive moment in the life of the writer, because for the first time be aware of this.
A young merchant wrote to a friend, who is in Russia alone, and without having made a fortune, which is engaged to a young lady belonging to a wealthy family. Information which, until then, had remained silent.
We have the story of several phases: first, this meandering soliloquy of the protagonist, tortuous, because based on assumptions that revolve around themselves and not make the choice and movement.
Then there is the father, old and weakened, he is reading the newspaper in his darkroom, where a high wall prevents the spring sun to reach it, to enlighten.
's father appears at first only in need of care and attention, suddenly starts to rise as a ruthless court judges and changes so striking that it seems at times delusional.
" You do not have any friends ... I know your friend ... It would have been a son, according to my taste. So you have deceived me! "And the voice accuses fluty that he took from that infinocchiare 'goose repugnant girlfriend, had desecrated the memory of his mother, of having betrayed his friend and have him stuck in bed, because you could no longer move. Until the final sentence: "You were truly an innocent child, but even more to be a devil! And because we know do I condemn you to die drowning. "
would be all too easy to think that The sentence is simply the transposition of the relationship between narrative Kafka and his father as evidenced Letter to His Father (1919), as is limited use una lettura esclusivamente psicanalitica di trasposizione del conflitto edipico.
Nel senso che il rapporto soprattutto con il padre ed anche quello sottilissimo con la madre sono evidenti, ma come causa ancora più profonda e conseguenza di questo c'è la colpa, la colpa di esistere e di errare. Una colpa che, in ultima analisi, risiede non nel giudizio del padre, ma in sé, in una coscienza, che si conosce e che non si perdona. Perché lui, il protagonista ha effettivamente e inevitabilmente, in una qualche misura, profanato la madre, tradito l'amico, emarginato il padre. La condanna del padre è anche la “sua” condanna.
Ma ciò che rende il racconto di Franz Kafka riuscito è nel saper scivolare da un realismo quotidiano ad uno visionario che diventa incubo; un incubo sul filo sottile tra una possibile realtà ed un possibile sogno.
