The core aim of this paper is to implement the existential elements in the select works of Franz Kafka, such as The Metamorphosis and A Hunger Artist. Kafka's writing describes their profound engagement with the complexities of human existence, especially for the individual's struggle to construct meaning and identity in a different and irrational world. Here, in the paper, the scholar wants to apply existential tools such as alienation, identity crises, absurdity, meaninglessness, and isolation in selected works. The primary focus of this research is to study existential philosophy and its key elements, as well as to explore existential and modern crises in human life through the selected works of Kafka. Through the works of Franz Kafka, the researcher wants to study human life and its structure with selected existential tools. After applying these core elements to both works, the researcher will critically evaluate them based on the arguments of both protagonists. The writings of Franz Kafka highlight how his narrative reflects the universal condition of existential anxiety and the continuous search for identity and purpose in human life.
