Write about The Hunger Artist
Consider the extent to which the Hunger Artist is subjected to human whims over which he has no control. Sometimes it seems to many people that life rages out of control until death overtakes it. When this happens, as it too often does, the life may be considered to be meaningless. Is this the case for the Hunger Artist? Is his life, as Kafka describes it, meaningful in any way? Are lives in general like that of the Hunger artist? Write an essay on meaninglessness using The Hunger Artist as a basis for your argument.
