What's Kafkaesque?

Imagine waking up in the body of an insect or ending up in jail without even knowing what you did. This is the scenario where you are in an intensely irrational world where all of your control patterns, plans, behaviour, begins to crumble when you find yourself against a force that doesn’t let you perceive the world as you did before.

This is the situation where you don't give up and wait for death. What you can do is struggle against this with all of your resources or equipment. But of course, you don't stand a chance and obviously fail. Things happening, in reality, will be a claustrophobic nightmare that does not have a resolution and there is no escape, except death. We often will experience things that are happening around us that are incomprehensible, mysterious and unexpected, which we can have no control over. 

That's Kafkaesque.
