Franz·Kafka is a typical writer of exsitentialism, and he is famous for his absurb writing, and he is one of the greatest writers in the world. His unique writing style helps him to win a high reputation at home and abroad. He became an outstanding writer for his excellent writing skills and writing styles. This essay aims to analyze the paradox thoughts in his novels, including the paradox of searching and despair, the absurbance and reality, guilty and salvation and the essence of tragedy and its comedy writing style. And at the same time, it tries to find the reason that leads to his unique writing style, including the time he lived, the anti Samitism, the-influence of his family and other writers and the trend of thought and so on. In his paradox writing we can find fearness and a sense of guilty. At the same time, his paradox writing is a vivid expression of fearness and guilty. In his novels, he uses certain images, like the bed, the apple, the top story of the building, to convey his thoughts. As we know, the bed is the place where we have a rest, and is also the image of death. Thus it creates a mysterious and horrible atmosphere for the novel. At the same time, the apple is a typical image in western culture. Further more, the top story of the building is frequently appeared in Kafka’s novel, especially in "the trial". It implies certain priority and supervision. Also, this essay makes a comparison of Kafka and other writers, taking Camus as a typical example. It explores the characteristics, achievement and the shortbacks of his writing. Kafka has a great influence on other writers, such as Yu Hua, Zong Pu and so on. With limited time and knowledge, this essay inevitably has certain limits, which is to be discussed in the future.
