2 BritLitComp 1102 Analytical Essay #3: Aristotle, Kafka, and Modern Fiction 50 point Major Assessment due at the end of class Tyr s Day, March 24 We ve been talking about fiction for a few weeks now, and you ve read fiction and read about it. Our focus has been the idea that fiction is true just not in the same way that nonfiction is true. For guidance on that idea, we ve looked principally at two thinkers: Aristotle, who in Poetics argued that the truth of fiction ( poetry ) is philosophical not worldly, universal not specific, and higher than historical truth; and that fiction can therefore get away with the impossible as long as it is plausible ; and Franz Kafka, whose Metamorphosis is one reason his name has become an adjective, Kafkaesque, reflecting situations in which a character s situation within his world, and reaction to it, strains hard against the plausible, whether it is possible (as in A Hunger Artist, in which a man starves himself for money) or impossible (as in the case of Gregor turning into a roach). Now think about how these two ways of seeing the truth of fiction are similar and different, and decide how each comes to bear on the book you have chosen to read. That s your prompt. To be judged adequate, your essay MUST: o Be submitted in MLA Format, Standard Academic English. Review expectations. o Run at least 700 words. You cannot seriously deal with all I m asking for in less. o Quote at least SIX TIMES from this unit s reading, properly formatting, citing and integrating each passage. The six are to be distributed thusly: 1+: Aristotle, Poetics, tr. S. H. Butcher. Mineola, NY: Dover Thrift Editions, : Edwards, Ivana, The Essence of 'Kafkaesque, New York Times, December 29, : Kafka, Franz, Metamorphosis, tr. Stanley Applebaum. Mineola, NY: Dover Thrift Editions, : The book you chose; 1+: one more from Aristotle, Edwards, Kafka, or your book. o Be organized into well-developed paragraphs which develop your thesis the specific argument your essay seeks to make. Your essay needs the following: Introduction giving overview of the issue and leading to your answer (thesis). Body of several paragraphs which develop your thesis in several ways: Philosophical discussion of thesis, reflecting why it matters; Evidence from assigned readings and history/personal experience; Counterargument articulated and answered. Conclusion which proposes new thinking or call to action based on thesis. o Have a Works Cited section at the end of your paper. See Syllabus. This essay will be graded using the rubric on the other side of this page.

4 "What's Kafkaesque is when you enter a surreal world in which all your control patterns, all your plans, the whole way in which you have configured your own behavior, begins to fall to pieces, when you find yourself against a force that does not lend itself to the way you perceive the world. "You don't give up, you don't lie down and die. What you do is struggle against this with all of your equipment, with whatever you have. But of course you don't stand a chance. That's Kafkaesque. History [is] going to roll over everybody, everybody [is] going to become a victim of history. That's Kafkaesque. You struggle against history and history destroys you." Frederick R. Karl, in The Essence of Kafkaesque, New York Times, December 29, 1991
5 Aristotle ( BCE), Poetics Edited and adapted from Aristotle, Poetics, tr. S. H. Butcher. Mineola, NY: Dover Thrift Editions, 1997 Universal truths describe how a person of a certain nature will, on a specific occasion, speak or act, according to the laws of probability or necessity. This is the aim of poetry [fiction]. History tells us what actually happened; poetry what may happen. Poetry tends to express the universal, history the particular. For this reason, poetic truth is a higher truth than historic truth. With respect to the requirements of art, a probable impossibility is to be preferred to the thing improbable and yet possible.
