The first half of the first chapter
was strange, but the second half was bizarre. I still like the book because it
still has me guessing and wondering; however, some of the things that are
occurring don’t really make sense. I know that every thing will be explained in
the next chapters, so I am not truly worried, but I am curious. Reading Atlas Shrugged and The Trial at the same time is also getting me a bit confused.
I do not fully understand what is
going on with the relationship between Joseph K. and Fräulein Bürstner (where
is this name from?). At first, it seems that K. just wanted to apologize to
her, then it seems like he wanted her help, then it seemed like they had a bit
of a sexual relationship. I’m wondering how old Fräulein Bürstner is because
their relationship could be illegal. Why are K. and Fräulein Bürstner both
scared of the Captain?
I also do not understand the legal
system of this country at all. Why have they still not told him what he is accused
of? Why is this arrest so strange? I still believe that the legal system in
this country leans towards guilty until proven innocent (compared to our
Innocent until proven guilty).
I still want to find out why K. has
been arrested. Is he going to be charged as guilty? Honestly, I am truly enjoying this novel and
want to continue reading it.
