Kafka had many influences most which were German (Grillparzer, Kleist, Goethe) (Dodd) but this did not stop his work from being universal.  By keeping his setting and other aspects of his work ambiguous he allows the reader to connect with the central themes of his works.  Another influence of Kafka, was his surroundings, in fact, ''Metamorphosis'' is loosely based on the realationship with his father who played a tyrranical role in his life much like the "Mr. Samsa" assumed later in the novella.
