Kafkaesque

Kafkaesque is a term to describe a situation that we do not understand often marked by a surreal distortion and often a sense of impending danger. This term came from a man called Franz Kafka who wrote the story of the trial. It tells of a man arrested and prosecuted for a crime that is never revealed to him or the reader. For my example of kafkaesque I based the idea of being punished for someting that you dont understand. My piece is set in the future where a girl has been kept after school to learn dress code ettiquette because she still looks individual and has yet to conform. This is loosely based back in the 1930′s when Adolf Hitler became the absolute dictator in Germany and began exterminating other less pure races than his own to make everyone the same. In my modern piece I have a world of clones where evryone must be the same dress the same and act the same. The angle I chose was throught the wall like someone is watching.
