THE UNCANNY HOMES AND HOMELESSNESS IN KAFKA’S “A COUNTRY DOCTOR”

Öz

This article focuses on the topos “house” which acts as a metaphor for “being” in Kafka’s short story “A Country Doctor.” We handle the notion of the house both literally (spatially) and metaphorically (as one’s being), demonstrating the ways in which the story constructs the house on the contentious relationship between individual privacy and public revelation. While the patient’s house is a playground for societal pressures that demand public exposure, the doctor's house is controlled by sexual forces that demand secrecy, preventing him from taking full ownership of the house or his own being. Both houses are representations of the doctor’s homelessness. There is indeed no house in Kafka’s claustrophobic literary world where one can fully feel at home, i.e. in peace with his own private being and in comfort with others.
