Response to Camille's 9/15

          As Camille said, there is something confusing about the situation as a whole. The “trial” is disorderly and unusual, and there is no explanation as to why everything is occurring in this manner. In my previous blog I mentioned that the scenes were dream-like and far from realistic. In contrast, Camille doubts whether or not the trial is even an act of the government. Clearly, Kafka is suggesting a sense of fantasy that causes perplexity and doubts in the readers’ minds as they read through the pages of the novel. Nobody really knows why the arrest was so casual and mysterious, or why the judicial system appears to be so improper. Every aspect of the trial, whether it is the instructions concerning the hearings, or the people attending them, is unexplained and abnormal.
