Muhammed YILDIZ / Letters and Feelings

It is very hard or sometimes may be nearly impossible to cast for children of their past. They experience things and live with the outcomes of those experiences forever. And most painfully, they can never compensate this bitterness. Nothing can undo or bring back the joy they used to feel before those experiences of distress.

Kafka, in his letter to his father ,is setting up scales to measure and look for justice which he couldn’t and wouldn’t find in his childhood. He wouldn’t find it, because he was too scared to be an opponent to his father even in a discussion speech about who was wrong or right. In fact such discussions would never be a matter of probability.

Because Kafka says: ‘My father believed, he could raise his children according to his unique moral and intellectual plan’

If a plan is made about how a child is to be grown up, there is not much thing left to say for the children.

And all years of silence breaks out in somewhere. When it broke out, Kafka wrote this letter to his father. However, by the manner of Kafka, we see that he didn’t directly give this letter to his father in hand. Instead, he asked his mother to give it to him. And she never did it. That Kafka didn’t give the letter himself to his father implies something else. It is that: even this letter of inner explosion wasn’t be able to put out the fire of fear which was caused by his father. We could see that in his lines: ‘You asked me recently why I maintain that I am afraid of you. As usual, I was unable to think of any answer to your question, partly for the very reason that I am afraid of you, and partly because an explanation of the grounds for this fear would mean going into far more details than I could even approximately keep in mind while talking. And if I now try to give you an answer in writing, it will still be very incomplete…’

Another important point about the letters and their message or the feeling that is tried to be given by the owner of those letters are that they never give the exact message or feelings. Because long time passes before the letters are written. And it just fades the real feelings of the victim. She or He can hardly be successful in giving the exact feeling they had felt before.

For example, Adrienne Rich, in her letter named ‘The anger of a child’ says: ‘It is hard to write about my mother. Whatever I do write, It is my story I am telling, my version of past.’

Although in the rest of the story, she criticizes her father, Adrienne Rich means that words can never recompense the true feeling. Things happened and they experienced them. However much they may try to tell about those bad experiences or past events, it will just be a bundle of words decorated by some curses.

Such letters did not only mirror the manners of parents towards their children or their anger, they also enlighten the role of parents on children in finding their identity as males or females.

As male position is thought to be certain in society, females usually confronted with this problem and had to reaffirm their position. Natalie Rogers, in her ‘The Right to be me’ self-therapy writing, is personally reconsidering her values by starting questioning her relations with her father and husband. In this writing, she is jumping into a womenhood. She explores her capabilities and power and questions the second-class vision of society against women or womenhood.

She says: ‘I have spent some time trying to discover how I came to be the woman I am. How much of what I am set by cultural role expectations.!’

Parents or society try to give roles and implement their own traditional plans over the children and destroy their pure minds and feelings which causes non-healing effects to be last forever. Even the explosion of an inner world, through a letter or self-therapy ( like diaries ) can not make it up and put things in order.
