As we continue reading on and on through the novel, Kafka's goal seems more obvious. He seems to make every one around K. suspicious, yet somewhat knowing of what's going on. I feel like Kafka is manipulating the outside eyes of the superficial characters in the novel as a way to describe his belief's of society. I just get this feeling that everyone knows what he's being accused of, and he ultimately has no control on it.
K. is initially characterized as being a successful, manipulative, and proud banker who doesn't usually get controlled by others. It's only fitting that when he finally gets into trouble with the 'law,' he has no control, and no idea of what's going on. It seems to me that Kafka is explaining his idea that no matter how successful or powerful you make present yourself to be, bureaucrats and the government can be destructive to whatever they want to be destructive toward. They have the power, and no matter what you think you can do, they ultimately control and manipulate you however you please.
Back to what I said in the beginning, I think that the outlying characters know that what's going on isn't right, but they are forced to play the game that is the government and K.'s 'Trial.'
