I agree with Max here. The book really does not seem to be realistic at all. How could one possibly be arrested for no plausible reason? Although saying all of this, the end of Chapter 1 leaves the reader wanting more. As you can tell by my post, I want to continue reading and finally starting to decipher this big question that Kafka has left us with.
I also agree with Max's comments on how the reader can begin to see insight on K.'s personality as Chapter 1 goes on. We get an idea that the guy is arrogant throughout how he sees others, especially the policeman who barge into his house. He feels better than them, possibly because he is a successful banker I suppose. Again, im not entirely sure what his reasoning is for this behavior, but it makes sense that he feels higher in rank than these underlings who take orders from another person who is higher in rank than they are.
I also agree with Max's comments on how Joseph wants to be in control of every situation. We know he is a successful banker, making it easy for the reader to assume that he wants to be in control. Also (like Max points out too as well), he tries to give an immediate answer to what's going on. His first prediction is that this is all a little game that his colleagues are playing on him, instead of actually assessing the situation.
