This essay takes a psychoanalytic look at Franz Kafka's novel Letter to My Father. With strong self-biographical content, Kafka gives a courageous exposition of himself in his relationship with his father and the interference in his psychological development. The Freudian theory of narcissism, the process of identification with parental figures, Oedipal features, the construction of the Ego and its desires, and the relevance of the Super Ego in the subject's formation are all addressed in some detail in this work. Sigmund Freud believed that literary writings could be used to approach the issues of the human soul. Throughout his large oeuvre, Freud makes numerous references to authors such as Goethe, Shakespeare, Dostoevsky, and Sophocles. Literary works are used to express human emotions and sorrow. In the text Letter to My Father, which is the topic of this study, the similarity between Franz Kafka's words and Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis is clearly evident.
