Title- Interpretation of Kafka’ “A country doctor” as Psychoanalytic study:
Sometimes, dreams appear so much real that it becomes difficult to distinguish it easily
from the reality. People feel quite disappointed having woke up from one such fascinating dream
to know that the dream has ended. There are some of the literary works where the line between
reality and fancy has been blurred providing scope to ponder on those in a psychological manner.
The current essay will deal with Kafka’ A Country Doctor through applying the psychological
approach. It will also provide certain incidents of the story as per the ‘The interpretation of
Dreams’ of Freud. The three parts of Freudian psychic apparatus such as id, ego and superego
will be discussed connecting it with the characters of the story.
Franz Kafka has been considered as one of the most influential writer in the 20th century
known for the significant style he had named as Kafkaesque. The stories of Kafka are usually
extremely bizarre that dig into the psychological condition of the characters along with the
characterization of different spheres of human psyche. A Country Doctor is where the doctor
himself is the narrator who tells the story of his own journey of his visit to one patient in a snowy
night. It is narrated in the form of a dream through changing the verb tenses, a sudden
appearance of the characters, the timeless and rapid transition, the stripping of the clothes of the
doctor and others.
The story is set in a specific forest that is connected with the unconsciousness having
represented a surreal image of a particular place where the passing time is not that tangible and
natural. The doctor is shown as one responsible, rational and moral character who is supposed to
interact with other characters acting brutally, irrationally and ineptly. The character of the doctor
also symbolizes logic in the world of chaos and from the psychological aspect, the interactions
are actually conflicts of the inner self. Kafka has consistently been an expert in the works of
