Franz Kafka's The Trial (Part 1)

2 жыл бұрынThis interpretation of Kafka's great novel focuses on the lack of any figure of knowledge or responsibility within the apparatus of the law. Kafka shows what this does to the one subjected to the law.

I just finished the book last week. And you drop this? This is perfect timing

Kafka is so amazing. One can really see where deleuze Foucault Derrida etc get so many of their interesting takes on control apparatuses.

Kafka basically dramatizes how ignorance is THE excuse for the law

do you think it’s possible that in betraying Kafka’s wishes, Brod fulfilled Kafka’s desire? why would he not just burn the manuscripts himself?

Very good. That's exactly how I would read it.

Now this is a proper literary analysis. I'm surprised by the amount of you tube videos that claim to be analyzing a novel by only giving a synopsis and a surface level analysis in a 2:1 ratio. Think you missed the catholic allegory though. He's facing a moral judgement by an inscrutable god.

i mean, the crime was killing the Urvater… right?

i’m very tempted by a theological reading of the trial, but i worry that this is tinged by philosemitism as he doesn’t (as far as i can tell) identify very strongly with judaism or believe much in god

The ending makes it pretty clear that it's a catholic allegory.
