Along with Ryan, I am sympathetic to Josef K.'s predicament. The thought of waking up one day and being held captive for an issue I am unaware of is absolutely frightening. Just the mere thought of being arrested is momentous. The entirety of Josef K.'s well being is about to change drastically and his life may never be the same. As a result, it is understandable that K.'s mindset is disoriented. The social and political matters in question are also an important element mentioned above. The legal system differs greatly from the one we are accustomed to in the U.S. presently, however the book is set in the early 1900's so it is hard to believe that any legal system was well developed during that era. I am eager to uncover more about the legal system and what measures are taken when one is arrested. The guards and inspectors are unlike any authority figures I have read about in any other piece of literature. They are indifferent about the situation and are only concerned with getting the job done so they can get paid. It is also extremely strange how all of them refuse to give any information to Josef K., yet they offer to get him breakfast from the café across the street. The arrest is suspicious and unpredictable.
