Kafka's Contribution to My Understanding of the Gothic

Kafka and the museum dedicated to him gave me a very good understanding of the gothic. After reading a few of his writings I started to see what the gothic was more about. Gothic literature is creepy and it's supposed to envoke mysterious thoughts about what's going on and the purpose of things. The museum reiterated this concept very well in my opinion. Gothic literature is usually very dark and the museum portayed this by dimming the lights a lot and not having any windows to the outside world. Perhaps what stuck out to me most was the almost maze like, winding path you had to take to navigate through the museum. Most museums I've been to are pretty straight foward with where you go next but in the Kafka museum there was like a sense of mystery as to where you're going next. When you read Kafka's work that's almost how you feel. I thought that the museum did a very good job of creating a real life Kafkaesque feel and environment.
