The Trial: Annotated

The Trial by Franz Kafka The narrative comes from the opening sentence of the book: "Someone had to slander Joseph K. one morning without doing anything wrong, he was arrested." It was K's 30th birthday and the twin. One came to his dorm to report that he had been arrested. Soon he was summoned to the presence of the inspector who was in another tenant's bedroom. The inspector did not know what the charges were but told the police that he was free to continue living as usual. K went to the bank where he worked and was later told that there would be multiple hearings on Sunday. K was not informed about the expected appearance time. But he went on Sunday morning to the given address, which proved to be a big shophouse. The young woman finally took him to a crowded auditorium, where the judges who examined Kei came late.K. enthusiastically protested his practice and condemned the corruption of the system. As he was leaving, the judge said he had damaged his case by refusing to participate in the trial. No more summons arrived, so K. returned to the building the following Sunday morning, only to be informed by the laundromat that the court was out of the meeting. Her husband was a court leader, and he proposed to the Kee Court Law Office. While K started to feel very tired But after the two guards outside helped him, he suddenly recovered. A few days later, as he was about to quit his job, K. heard a loud noise coming from the storage room, and inside he found the guards who had arrested him were flogged because he complained about them to the judge. K's uncle later took him to the defense attorney, Dr. Huld, even though Huld was lying in bed due to heart disease. But he was very interested in accepting K as a customer. The court's chief clerk emerged from a dark corner of the room, and he and Huld were discussing the matter.Huld's caretaker Leni lured K. out of the room and seduced him. She also told him that he was too stubborn and that he had to confess to him. Uncle K.'s was furious that he had neglected his case. The weeks passed, during which K. found it increasingly difficult to focus on the job and even began to resent the largely unseen work of a lawyer on his behalf. One day, the bank's client suggested that he sought help from court painter Titorelli, with K. Titorelli's innocence said he could help K. Although he revealed that in his experience no one was acquitted. However, he believes that K. can be explicitly acquitted, which is temporary and therefore carries the risk of charging the fee back or indefinitely deferring the request for filing and appearances. Regularly May prevent the case from reaching the judicial process When K. goes to shoot a Huld, he meets Block, another customer for Huld's. Block's case has been going on for five years, and he secretly gets engaged to other lawyers and tries to represent himself. Huld shows power over Block in an attempt to dissuade Ke from chasing him. Later, K. Work was asked to take an Italian client to visit the local cathedral. But the customer did not come on the appointed time A priest appears on the side of the pulpit and reveals that he is the prison's chaplain. He informed Kei that his case was going badly because he was now guilty. The chaplain tells a puzzling parable. On K.'s 31st birthday, 2 men in a coat and top hat came to his house. He went with them and they grabbed his arm. Even though they seemed to go to K. take them, but they took him to an abandoned mine and had him sit on the head of rock. They sent their knives back and forth, and one of them pushed it into K's heart and twisted it twice. Kee never discovered why he was arrested or what he was charged with, and he was unable to understand the principles of governing the justice system that he found himself trapped. In the end, he was not against the inevitable execution.
