The first half of the third
chapter of The Trial By Kafka, like last chapter, had a bizarre
atmosphere to it, but it was interesting to say the least. I do not like how
the story line of The Trial is jumpy
and the mood is inconsistent, switching between serious and sexual.
I think it is clear that K.
is the victim of the unjust and corrupt legal system. The sexual favors that
the student and the examining magistrate get out of the woman are unjust. If
the heads of the legal system are committing acts like these, none of the legal
system can be trusted.
The first half of the third
chapter consisted of a lot of sexual tension. I have to say, the woman is a
slut. She is a married woman who is not only cheating on her husband with two
guys but also trying to sleep with K.. On the other hand, she has no choice (at
least with the student and the examining magistrate); the legal system will not
protect her from abuse because they are the legal system.
I find the situation with K.’s
interrogation to be strange. K. has not been informed of anything, and everything
seems to be at a stand still with his case. I don’t understand why K. is so
confident that the case will be dismissed. I feel like K. is going to be blamed
for something unpredictable, and because the legal system is so corrupt he is
going to be executed.
So
far The Trial has left me clueless. I have no understanding of the legal
system of this country and I have no understanding of this trial. I want to
read on in order to answer my questions.
