After reading the last installment
of The Trial all I have to say is
“What the F***”. At first the book made sense and flowed logically; however, it
became gradually more and more strange. In the last installment I found myself
repeatedly reading a page then saying, “What the hell did I just read” then I
would reread it and still be lost. I think that Kafka did this on purpose, but
it is annoying.
The conditions within the offices
are kind of sickening, literally and figuratively. The filthy, unclean, “hardly
breathable” air is not acceptable in a office, especially a government office.
I find the need of a position of the Clerk of Inquiries to be explanatory for
the society, especially since “a great deal of information is asked for (from
him)”. The society should at least have a small understanding of its own legal
system; however, it is blatantly obvious that it does not. This makes me wonder
if all of this is caused because the society is under-developed or because the
society is corrupt.
One of the cool things I found in
the last installment of The Trial,
was the pun in the title. The trial, which you would think is just a legal
trial, is also a trial as in a test. I found it kind of ironic that at the end
of chapter three K. was bragging about “withstanding [the trail] with such
ease” (pg. 73).
Finally the big question for is
still what the hell is K. Being charged with!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’ve realized we are
probable never going to get the answer to that question.
