    First, Franz Kafka’s “Letter to His Father” goes into depth of the rough childhood Kafka experienced and how that turned him into a timid and fearful person. Since he and his father have so many sharp differences, Kafka can not connect and understand his father which installs fear in him and “this fear and it’s consequences hamper [him] in relation to [his father],” (Kafka, Letter to Father,” 200,1).
