Ryan's Response To Raoul


Like Raoul, I am very eager to know why K. is being arrested. Of the reasons Raoul mentioned, I believe it most likely the K. is being arrested for stealing money from the bank. So far, K. does not strike me as the man to kill someone and betray his country, whose legal system is clearly faulted; but I do believe it is very realistic that K. is greedy and wanted some extra money. However, K. is possibly under arrest for something totally different, because K. states that his position at the bank is relatively high, hurting the probability that he stole money. I agree with Raoul that this particular legal system operates on a guilty until proven innocent basis. Evident of the fact that K. is in the process of being detained, yet the supervisor is not sure if K. is actually guilty. Furthermore, the nonchalant demeanor of the two officers and the supervisor does indicate that K.’s reason for arrest is not extremely severe  like Raoul said. However, this indifference could just be a characteristic of the legal system. I also appreciate K.’s rationale thought process, despite his apparent, understandable anxiety. Like Raoul, I am excited to discover more about K.'s situation.
