Thesis:
In Franz Kafka’s The Trial, Joseph K.’s trial and the
events that follow his conviction take him on a path to his final judgment.
Through K’s experience Kafka challenges the notion of destiny and an
individual’s ability to alter their course of action.
Body 1: What is destiny and how is it relevant to K.’s
situation?
Body 2: Examples from the novel leading up to his judgment.
(Law office episodes, meeting with lawyer, the cathedral etc. )
Body 3: “The Law”, K.’s final moments and the significance
behind his refusal of suicide.
Conclusion:
K’s fate in parallelism to the Court’s decision– both
predetermined. Inescapable destiny, but individual’s choice to accept or deny.
