Produced by Jana Srna "Der Mord" by Franz Kafka is a short story written in the early 20th century, likely during the 1910s. This book presents a harrowing exploration of violence and morality through the act of murder. It delves into the psyche of the murderer and the immediate aftermath of his crime, showcasing Kafka's signature themes of isolation and existential dread. The narrative begins with Schmar, the murderer, lurking in the shadows, awaiting the arrival of his unsuspecting victim, Wese. As Wese emerges from his office, Schmar launches a brutal attack, stabbing him with a weapon that seems almost to gleam in the moonlight. The story vividly captures the moment of the murder, juxtaposing the physical act with the chaotic reactions of onlookers, including Pallas, a private observer, and Mrs. Wese, who runs to her husband in horror. Through this chilling depiction, Kafka raises questions about human nature, the randomness of violence, and the emotional detachment that can follow such heinous acts. The weight of the murder lingers, provoking disturbing reflections on the meaning of life and death in a cold and indifferent world.
