[dailykafka]

and Julie said yes?? They’re both crazy 😭

Well… yes but the woman is blameless! Kafka really was weird with her and idk why.

"Julie’s friendship with Kafka only started to develop after their return to Prague from the boarding house. Kafka very soon pressed her to marry him. His father Hermann Kafka rejected the ill-matched union on social grounds. At the critical moment, towards the end of 1919 when Kafka had already found a flat in the Vršovice district of Prague and the date was fixed for the wedding, he cancelled his engagement. He sent a notarised letter to Julie’s married sister Käthe Nettel, penned at the same place (Želízy) and at the same time as the Letter to His Father. In it he described how he had come to know Julie and what had led him to break off the engagement. As one possible solution he suggested they continue their relationship without getting married. Thus Julie’s painful attachment to Kafka continued into 1920. However, Kafka’s relationship with Milena Jesenská helped bring it to an end." — from Kafka museum site
