Why did Franz Kafka, before his death, instruct his friend Max Brod to destroy all his unpublished manuscripts?

Answers

The main reason why Franz Kafka did not want his work to be published was that he was very critical of his own work. However, Max Brod ignored his request, and most material we have of Kafka's writing was saved because of this. A small selection of his work was published while he was alive. However, these texts were not very popular, and Kafka died without knowing how influential and appreciated he was going to be in future generations.
The main reason why Franz Kafka, before his death, instructed his friend Max Brod to destroy all his unpublished manuscripts was because he didn't want his unfinished work to be read.
