If The Samsa family was so poor and in debt, how did they have a servant girl?
Also, Kafka general.
Most people react poorly to times of crises
>be absolutely beta male
>write shit after shit boring story about your boring beta office life and your beta insecurities
>write in your will that you want your shit stories destroyed so the world will never know about your embarrassing works
>""""""""""""""""friend"""""""""""""""" immediately publishes them after your long painful death with tuberculosis
Welp! Poor beta Kafka
Kafkaesque
Were the Zimmerherren Jews?
Basic economy mang, it's not because you have great debts that you are poor.

poor then isn't the same as poor now. the family in pride and prejudice were supposed to be poor but they had a house that even upper middle class people couldn't afford now.

most of the fucking book is gregor whining about how he has to work to afford to keep his family's lifestyle from diminishing.

He just wanted the love of his family :(

I'm really very disappointed that people like this are allowed here

he was getting pussy left and right
In the middle of Crime and Punishment, and the economic situation there is also interesting. I've had to infer but it seems that large houses have a landlady and one or two servants/cooks, but these get divided among many tenants. Is that right? I know the basic outline of Russian history, but not in such detail as to know city living conditions.

This, different times.
Everyone and their dog had a servant back then. Having only one servant is actually a sign of them being poor.
>>8211424
Servants were cheap enough for anyone with a halfway decent income to afford at least one back then.
>>8212255
why didnt they just fire the servant to save in money?
>kafka
>ever being logical

This has nothing to do with Kafka not being logical. Read any book from the period it was written in dealing with people with money issues, and more often than not they will have a servant.
If so many Los Angelinos are poor and in debt, why do they all drive Mercedes' and BMW's?
