Parsing kafka dreams one of the most famous novel the country doctor"
"I am very uncomfortable, I will be an emergency travel;A seriously ill patients waiting for me in a village outside of miles;All over the sky snow sea floats between patients and I that the apparently endless expanse of the earth, I have a carriage, lightweight and wheels, in our country roads entirely appropriate;I wear good leather jacket, the medical kit in hand, standing in the yard ready, but no horses, no horse."
The rural doctors in the first place is a dream, a dream village doctor, only to dream of logic to understand to really get into it.The first appeared, the mood is "anxiety" this is one of the topics everyone dreams.Due to can not find something or someone and anxiety is unusual, I think this is everyone appeared in my dream.Next, I casually kicked the door of the pigpen, have never thought a hostler pulled two horses from the inside out, maid aside smiled and said: a person always don't know what's your home.
This is one of the logic of dreams: lift itself in the form of a kind of imagination.But anxiety just get temporary relief, and then it again in another way more fiercely rush toward to coachman tried to own "I" the maid, and "I" is powerless by him off.Set from the plot has been able to glimpse the theme of the novel, that is individual in the face of the powerless and the resulting difficult to relieve anxiety.
At the beginning of the narrative also shows the two characteristics: a dream strong emotions and a strong imagination.
Hollywood movies before the silence of the lambs, and there is a very interesting details: Hopkins guidance Jodie foster how to catch that in order to want to beA womanPeel the skin to make clothes but abnormal conditionkill.He said, "people's imagination starts from the side the most familiar place", alluding to the criminals killed must be the first woman he met an acquaintance.We always think the imagination is the most powerful and unconstrained style elusive, actually the most can cause us to imagine, imagine the most, is exactly what we see every day the most familiar, they are always in our dreams to another.In the dream, as a country doctor, his emotional expression of anxiety for two things: to visit travel without a male body;I like maid is in danger of invaded by evil slave.The former is direct reproduction of daily life situations, the latter is more like his subconscious mind in everyday life the continuity of thinking in the dream.
Horse drill out from the pigsty, it against the common sense of the daily life, but it's a dream: one of the logic of the development of things has set itself, absurdist random transfer and grafting."I" in order to relieve anxiety, to find out the two horses, and they are from random change out any place is fine.Dreams of this logicThe childHouse lie and lie well, silly adults think it sounds ridiculous, we think himself is perfect.If the dream of this kind of imagination is called "sudden" or "brainwave type", the following two paragraphs imagine could be called "extended" type:
"The two tall and strong cattle, horse horse RACES one after another pushing each other hard go, horse leg close to the body, beautiful horse head drooped like camel, took the door wall completely sealed, only hard the body of them turned his head to walk out.However, they'll stand up straight, horse leg is very long, straight steaming body."
"Rosa exclaimed, there must be a foretaste of her fate was inevitable, ran into the house;I heard her chain with a clatter hang the door;Heard she locked the door;I also saw her in the corridor to continue a most urgent through the house, put all the lights are shut, make people can't find her."
There is no doubt that these two extended imagination is very wonderful, in front of a camera like the horse in the film, behind a is a vision: tall, not only in the night of Rosa silhouette in Windows flashing, locks kuang, light even go out.
The rural doctors initially attracted me because it is a dream, now also is still the reason.I don't think it is the author deliberately symbol, metaphor, or so-called profound logic thinking, all this is inherent in the dream, is not the author to express the theme of the other major and under the guise of a rural doctor's dream to deliberately placed.This is the wonders of this novel for a rural doctor had a dream.In fact this is very great, in the us, even don't know my dream can't know the ins and outs, how to make a dream?And kafka is insight into the relationship between dreams and personal life, master the regular pattern of the mind dreams, to dream for others.So any interpretation of this novel all cannot leave the specific role of rural doctors.
As a country doctor, his dreams and is closely related to his life, all dreams are by deformation of his daily life scenes, characters, events, mental, emotional, and the relationship between the characters and the resulting emotions are by evolution, strengthening the relationship between the main characters in the daily life."I" and the maid Rosa relationship, the relationship with the groom, in real life can be very calm, love of maids and hated to groom only some neglected the subconscious mind, "I" in a dream these subconscious woven into a thrilling plot driver drove me to the maid, violence, in this plot, love, resentment, fear, regret, fear, anxiety, these feelings were stimulated.
Also, as a country doctor, his relationship with patients and families in the dream also exaggerated deformation.
Look at this paragraph:
"I" in the patient home, the patient (boy) "from the featherThe quiltSit up, arms around my neck, and whispered in my ear: doctor, let me die.
It passed two information: first, the doctor and patient relationship is often with a kind of special kind;Second, the patient's this sentence should be for rural doctors in daily medical patients feel pain eyes, that because of the pain and death and sorrow in my dreams into actual supplication.
The second paragraph:
"I" in the treatment to the patient is still anxious to find out what the maid Rosa, whereas the family get me uncomfortable;"I think there is no disease, the patient after confirmed the idea more full of complaints, feel oneself are too dedicated to work, and" I "and didn't get the corresponding understanding and return,
In order to a not sick person but I will pay for such a big price (loss of their beloved maid).
The complaint of psychological I think the people by the doctor to understand understand me better, they must have many such complaints in daily work.
The third paragraph:
"I decided to move," was her sister's plea to impress (please note: families are different indifferent father, mother, helpless, only the elder sister with tears bit his lip and pulled out a piece of bloody towels), to examine a patient again, found his wound.
On the wound, has always been considered a metaphor and symbol of "the flowers you make you destroy", my understanding is still ruled out first the author has a preset at the beginning of the creation of the metaphor and symbol.The meticulous depiction of just being a doctor subconscious fear of wound, and associate it with flowers, lenovo is the dream of dislocation.In our thinking and imagination often dreaming "dislocation" situation arises.Former colleagues appeared in the company now, the dead come and we meet to talk, these belong to the dislocation of space and time;And have nothing to do things together, and "dreams" unique skill, this link has a purely is an illusion caused by fuzzy when thinking, but there are for insight into the special strange connection between things, and the wound and flowers association is the latter, the metaphor is full of magical symbol and metaphor, shocking.
The fourth section: family saw me in the work, get excited, in spite of the fact that patients have no treatment may give me the patient entirely, they persecute me with singing, even put me in the patient's room, to the patient's bed.
Patients and families to the doctor too high requirements, as doctors will often encountered.The doctors seem to have to take the treatment for the patient's duty.The meaning of the lyrics is very interesting:
Took off his clothes, he would cure disease, said the doctor cure disease is believed to be easily)
If he not cure disease, kill him, said the "I" for their high looking forward to feel the pressure)
Only he is a doctor, he is just the doctor (their mentality is complex, see the doctor as omnipotent god, and they just as same as save the patient's tools)
Paragraph 5: "I" in the patient's bed, horse appeared in Windows (growing horse means "me" time cannot disappear anxiety).Blame my incompetence, the patient to cajole him and I comfort.
This is very interesting, the patient complaint be changed form "I trust in you are very faint.Where you are just being dumped, not yourself.You don't help, but I get narrow the critically ill patient's bed.I couldn't dig out your eyes."The doctor to the patient's ridiculous trick to "cut at the sharp corners two axes line".
Step6: after the patient was coaxing quiet, escaped I want to go home, but it can only be wandering in the wilderness.
This passage, the horse is less than together, leather can't completely to the carriage, falling in the snow, not obedient aimless blind horse, is "I" feel "incompetent" a kind of expression, and the children sing the song:
You in these patients, and happy
The doctor to accompany you on the bed!
Obviously is "I" to his own impotence and hence the era of a comfort themselves "I" although nothing can do for the patient, also went to bed with him, after all, lie down together.This kind of self relief really ridiculous, but in the dream we often find such ridiculous excuse for myself.
The last paragraph:
I never can't get home so;I finished the kind of clinic, a successor in rob my bread and butter, but useless, because he couldn't replace me;Nasty groom run amok in my home, Rosa is the victim of his;I don't want to think anymore.I the old man, naked, suffer the most unfortunate time cold frost, sitting room of car, the horse, of the human adrift everywhere.My leather jacket hanging in the back of the carriage, but I don't it enough, those patients flexible limbs no one willing to help.Fall for it!Fall for it!As long as a fraudulent ring, listen to night forever also cannot be redeemed.
In real life situation, the doctor may also, but he put the miserable and expressed in a dream, he felt pressure, worry about life, lost, tired, alone, these deviate from the normal life of the psychological and emotional in reality is not blurred by self-repression, and released them that dream.
The rural doctors in this novel, kafka characteristic of dreams, dreams and personal relationship in the real life, the dream of logic, the artistic conception of the dream all show incisively and vividly.This is also his own once willing to selected for one of our five novel.I hope we don't misread it, cherish.
