One of the characters in the poem "Behind the Blameless Tress’’ is described as having her or his forehead marked by deep wrinkles which the younger generation has yet to develop.

A Hunger Artist The Panther | Shmoop A Hunger Artist The Panther | Shmoop

Big Cat Rescue, an organization dedicated to caring for abandoned pet big cats, estimates that owning an animal such as a panther will cost around 100,000 USD in the first year of ownership and over 10,000 USD every year afterward. Summary In the first stanza of the poem "Before Summer Rain’’, the narrator describes a person sitting in a clearing surrounded by lush green tress. The person in the clearing cannot see what lies behind the trees so the person remains clueless to the possible danger. The green trees are used here as a symbol standing for a happy and carefree life. Because of this type of life, many fail to see the imminent danger lurking just around the corner. Symbol for problems There is a sharp division among critical interpretations of "A Hunger Artist". Most commentators concur that the story is an allegory, but they disagree as to what is represented. Some critics [ who?], pointing to the hunger artist's asceticism, regard him as a saintly or even Christ-like figure. In support of this view, they emphasize the unworldliness of the protagonist, the priest-like quality of the watchers, and the traditional religious significance of the forty-day period. Other critics [ who?] insist that "A Hunger Artist" is an allegory of the misunderstood artist, whose vision of transcendence and artistic excellence is rejected or ignored by the public. This interpretation is sometimes joined with a reading of the story as autobiographical. According to this view, this story, written near the end of Kafka's life, links the hunger artist with the author as an alienated artist who is dying. Whether the protagonist's starving is seen as spiritual or artistic, the panther is regarded as the hunger artist's antithesis: satisfied and contented, the animal's corporeality stands in marked contrast to the hunger artist's ethereality. The Caged Panther : Ezra Pound", How Lawyers Lose Their Way : A Profession Fails Its Creative Minds, Jean Stefancic, Richard Delgado Introducing Kafka, a graphic novel written by David Zane Mairowitz and illustrated by Robert Crumb, examines Kafka's life and work and includes a retelling of "A Hunger Artist".Panthers may be mesmerizingly beautiful but are also powerful, endangered, wild predators, not housecats. Another interpretive division surrounds the issue of whether "A Hunger Artist" is meant to be read ironically. Some critics [ who?] consider the story a sympathetic depiction of a misunderstood artist who seeks to rise above the merely animal parts of human nature (represented by the panther) and who is confronted with uncomprehending audiences. Others [ who?] regard it as Kafka's ironic comment on artistic pretensions. The hunger artist comes to symbolize a joy-deprived man who shows no exuberance, who regards even his own tremendous discipline as inauthentic, and the panther who replaces him obviously is meant to show a sharp contrast between the two. Still, at least one interpretation is that Kafka is expressing the world's indifference to his own artistic scruples through the plight of the hunger artist. [1] Gooldin, Sigal (2003).
