Natalie's Response to Ryan

I agree with Ryan that the chapter does not further expand K.’s trial. I feel like this will be the case for the majority of the novel. I also agree with Ryan that K. believes his case is over but that it is too early in the novel to determine this. From the moment it even began K. has undermined that power of the court and believed he was innocent and it’s funny because he still does not know why he is even on trial. I feel that because K. keeps undermining the courts power it is going to affect his trials outcome. Also I do not think that K. should not use the washerwoman to get the court officials jealous because this plan could only backfire on him. I also agree that K. has a superiority complex and this has been highly notable since the first chapter. I personally do like K.’s personality but despite that I also feel like it is going to affect him and his trial. Unlike Ryan I do not think that K. changed his feelings about the washerwoman because he became suddenly attracted to her. I think instead he realized her possible value to him and then decided on his attraction and the actions he would pursue.
