Everytime I read this book I find my self very confused. The situations created by Kafka are puzzling to me as most of them are very unrealistic. For example, in this weeks passage Kafka describes how K. goes to the "courthouse" even though he was not summoned. What is peculiar about this situation is the condition the "courthouse" was in. Contrary to being a traditional courthouse as it was before, the room is transformed into a living room. We learn later on the the "women" and her husband live there. To me, this makes no sense. K, a prominent buissiness man should recognize that something is wrong and that it might not be a real "courthouse" after all.
Another thing that I found very interesting was the fact that as tension started in the courthouse, K began to feel dizzy and immediately seemed to want to exit. Maybe the true reason is that he didn't want to deal with the situation. Honestly, I cannot say that I am enjoying reading this novel.
