The thesis is a comparative interpretation of two literary works and the circumstances of their creation by the authors Franz Kafka and Kôbô Abe, in which I am concentrating on the application of the theory of identity on the two main characters in the short stories Metamorphosis and The Crime of S. Karma. Through interpretation of the works, the thesis tries to prove that the two works are similar, due to the circumstances of their creation and the similarity of the lives of authors. Aside from this, the theory of identity is applied to the authors as well.
