卡夫卡的短篇小说《藏身洞》可以看作是一篇寓言,借以阐明二十世纪小说中的上帝形象与人的主题。卡夫卡在这里把带有宗教思想的许多文学家在这个二十世纪非宗教世界中的好象无法解脱的处境戏剧化了,他还以戏剧手法生动地表现了现代艺术家另一种苦恼心情——艺术家的离羣索居之感。他总会感到这个“外在世界’的轻视和敌意,也还有艺术家自己内心深处的种种疑虑和妥协。卡夫卡在寓言结束部分还提出一个极其严重的问题:我毕生全力以赴的这件艺术品在上帝看来究竟有没有意义,究竟有没有价值?这并不是好的神学或哲学,卡夫卡在实在中所看到的烦忧景象是种有限的景象,是神学或哲学不容许我们视为终极的。真正的艺术家总要在他自己的主观经历和他所隶属的那一代人的经历中找出一个意义。有时候他所能断言的唯一意义只是他自己的特殊禀赋容许他通过语言媒介而加于生活的美的秩序或艺术秩序。卡夫卡就是如此,他的文学作品形式的本身在相当程度上证实了他的怀疑和遭受的挫折。他作品中所透露的乖离感、寂寞感、犯罪感、焦虑感对于我们这一代、对于我们的时代都有意义。他已经在显著的程度上使他个人的内心世界和我们自己的公开世界接近到足以揭示后者的地步。 Kafka’s short story Hidden Hole can be seen as an allegory to illustrate the image of God and the human subject in the 20th century novel. Here, Kafka has dramatized the seemingly unsolvable position of many writers with religious ideas in this secular, non-religious world of the twentieth century. He has also vividly characterized the distressed mood of modern artists by dramatic techniques - The artist’s solitude. He always feels the contempt and compromise of this “outer world”, as well as the doubts and compromises inherent in the artist’s own heart.Kafka also raised an extremely serious question at the conclusion of the allegory: I devoted all my life Is there any value for this artwork in the sight of God? This is not a good theology or philosophy. The distress scene that Kafka saw in reality is a kind of limited scene, either theological or philosophical Allows us to regard as the ultimate .Real artist always find a meaning in his own subjective experience and the experience of the generation to which he belongs. Sometimes the only meaning he can assert is only his own special endowment to allow him to pass Language medium and add to the life of the United States or the order of the arts.Kafka is the case, his literary form itself to a certain extent, confirmed his suspicions and suffered setbacks .Disclosure of his work in the sense of departure, loneliness Feeling, guilt, and anxiety have meaning to our generation and to our time, and to a significant extent he has made his personal inner world and, Our own open world is close enough to reveal the latter.
