Why does Franz Kafka use magical realism in his story?

Franz Kafka does not primarily employ the literary genre of magical realism in his storytelling but is commonly associated with literary movements such as Expressionism and Existentialism. Magical realism often intertwines reality with fantastical or mythical elements in a seemingly normal setting. Kafka's works tend to delve into surreal, nightmarish scenarios or psychological introspections that do not always adhere to conventional conceptions of magical realism.
