Where does Kafka sleepwalk to during the blackout?

• A. A religious shrine
• B. The gym
• C. The river
• D. The cafe

Answer: (B)

Sleepwalking in this story shows how a character’s inner restlessness pushes him through the world even when he isn’t awake. During the blackout, he ends up at the gym, a setting that roots a surreal moment in a real, tangible place and highlights the tension between his urge to escape and the form that reality takes. The gym’s ordinary, disciplined atmosphere contrasts with the blackout’s dreamlike instability, making it the natural destination in that scene. The other locations don’t match what happens in the narrative at that moment, so the gym is the best fit.
