Interpret The Trial

            
             a bank clerk that at the age of 30 gets arrested for no reason. One year later he is taken outside town and killed. The Trial is the account of everything that happened the year before he dies and of the struggles of K's case.
             In the first chapter I started asking myself questions. Why don't they tell him his crime? Why is he told to dress in an unimpressive manner? And where is Herr Hastier(his lawyer) during the rest of the story? This story is extremely complicated and long. It took me forever to finish reading it and then it came the toughest part. Trying to come up with an interpretation of the hardest, and most difficult story or reading that I've ever read. I started reading different interpretations of The Trial but didn't totally agree with any one of them. Some say that The Trial is supposed to represent the conscience of K. and that is a struggle with himself because he feels guilty and he is destroyed by it. According to this opinion Kafka shows in his diaries that he is obsessed with guilt, so the novel is about what happens in one's mind. I think it could be that because Kafka was a very "autobiographical" writer, his personal life often was reflected in his writing. Some say that it had something to do with religion, sin and he being Jewish. Others say that there is no meaning, but that it was written to be a tragedy. Another opinion is that he wanted to show the government corruption and the way that matters where handle in the courts or a satire of the Austro-Hungarian bureaucracy of his time. The cases were passed from one judge to another without any actually solving the issue. K. was fighting back an unfair legal system. One more opinion is that the story took place in Germany, the country that led the attack on Jews during the Holocaust. K, the victim was a banker, an occupation that many Jews had held. The court would be the anti-Semites attacking the Jews for not understandable reason.
