Kafka's Depression

I was reading another article which was just a biography of Kafka, but it really emphasized the sadness in his life immediately. In this first paragraph it spoke about his problems with his father as well as the death of his two siblings at very young ages. It was followed by the quote, "
A first sign of the beginning of understanding is the wish to die". This quote for me definitely gave me a better understanding with where Kafka was emotionally through his life.

    What's impressive is that although Franz Kafka struggled in his childhood and may not have received appreciation from his parents for his creative side, he created characters out of the visions he had of his father and wrote great works about relationships and self-worth. In a way, Kafka's background created, and only benefitted, his voice and vision.
