	The Art of Being
		Ignoring the final admission of the hunger artist, the key word in the title of Franz Kafka's story seems to be "artist." The man in the cage who starves himself across Europe admits freely that only he knows for certain that he has eaten nothing during a fasting period.
		hunger artist is obvioulsy not interesting to people, and if it were there would be no need to go to a great extreme to see one -- trees, rocks, and even earthworms do not eat as we do, and in the case of rocks do not eat at all.
		This particular hunger artist was no artist at all, he existed diferentely than people do, though he needed food to subsist, he had no desire for it or the strength it would give him.

		After the hunger artist observes that most of the watchers are really on their way to see the animals; those who watch him do so more to assert themselves against the animal-watchers and less because they are interested in the hunger artist.
		The hunger artist often thinks things might be better if he were not next to the animals; it makes it too easy for people to choose between him and the animals, the animals smell at night, and he must see and hear them at feeding time.
		At the circus, the hunger artist is reduced to this level of diversionhe places himself in a strategic spot as a mere obstacle for zoo-goers, rather than as the main attraction.

	Circus as Education (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		We may believe that Circus is the purest form of dramatic art, drawing its power from that same magic that endowed the shaman as he suffered and soared for his `primitive' audience around his ritual ring of fire.
		This lack of literary communication among Circus folk could be due to secrecy, or illiteracy, or to the pointlessness of transmitting complex physical skills through the written word.
		Circus acrobats, especially aerialists and contortionists, are rarely the victims of self-imposed strains or injuries.

		However, the hunger artist admits that fasting is easy for him, and that if he found some food he liked, he would gladly eat it.
		However, the audience does not understand the hunger artist's craft; the watchers (usually butchers, a symbol of gluttony and, perhaps, of non-kosher practices) assigned to ensure he truly fasts assume he cheats.
		He restricts the hunger artist's free will and creativity, limiting his fasts to forty days and humiliating the hunger artist in public by shaking him and lying about his lack of endurance.

	CIRCUS
		With the chance of the presence of an animal circus in our city, we decided to activate, in an attempt of informing the public, enlightening the dark aspect call “backstage” of this spectacle, which unfortunately is mostly addressed to children.
		The view of the whip or the stick with the ribbons, hiding the hook or the nail functions as “a reminder” of the tortures that came before and the animal acts with the conditional reflexes: performs automatically the movements he must, to avoid repeating the tortures.
		Because the circus is a spectacle mostly addressed to children, we are wondering what the small child finally gets watching a circus performance.

		The hunger artist himself was the only one who could know that and, at the same time, the only spectator capable of being completely satisfied with his own fasting.
		Then a toast was proposed to the public, which was supposedly whispered to the impresario by the hunger artist, the orchestra confirmed everything with a great fanfare, people dispersed, and no one had the right to be dissatisfied with the event, no one except the hunger artist—he was always the only one.
		Although the hunger artist was very familiar with this perversion of the truth, it always strained his nerves again and was too much for him.

		This demonstrates that for the hunger artist, work is so much of a compulsion that he cannot stop doing it, as he tells the overseer at the circus while dying.
		The hunger artist's fate is to die of starvation, since as he says, "I have to fast, I can't help it" (8).
		This is considered appropriate; after all, the hunger artist is a curiosity, an "it." Right before he dies, he tries to reach out to society with a kiss directed at the overseer of the circus, but it is too late.
