Chapter 6

         By reading Chapter 6, my opinion of K. has changed dramatically. The chapter begins by us meeting his uncle, Karl. Uncle Karl has come to try to aid K. in every way that he can for the trial. The same thing that is shocking to Uncle Karl is what has been shocking for me throughout this whole process. K. seems to not care about what is going on. He stays calm and collected when many others would be panicking in this situation. In my opinion, K. is starting to connect the dots and figure out what is happening. He starts to think that people in the office might be responsible for what is occurring as displayed be his want to talk to his Uncle outside the office.

         It is also revealed in this chapter that K. is a little bit more of a snob then I originally thought. When Karl tell him that he has a friend who is a lawyer, K. is hesitant because the friend, Huld, usually defends the lower class. K. even points out that he is a higher up at a prominent bank. Many more things are revealed at the house which I think is going to change the story as a whole. At Huld’s house, we find out that his Uncle goes by Albert. This really confused me. Why would he go by a different name? Does he have something that he is hiding?

         At the house we learn that Huld is good friends with the Chief Clerk of the courthouse, who is currently present in the room. K. should have jumped on this opportunity and tried to prove his innocence. I felt that out of all of the people who were in the room, he seemed to be the one who cared the least even though the outcome of this case can dramatically alter K.’s future. Instead, K. is seduced by the nurse and ends up going to a different room with her. I feel as if this is going to play a huge role later on in the book. The Chief Clerk probably now thinks that K. has no interest in the case. He is not going to make an effort to help someone who will not even give him the decency of staying with him for a short meeting. K. really messed up here and he better find a way to fix this situation or he may up behind bars.
