Vero I understand what you are basing this off of. I also am irritated by Joseph K. as a character. He is constantly changing his mind and now doing the actions that are in reality better for him in this current situation. Kafka made it so that in the beginning, the reader thinks K. is a business man of high intellect. However, through his actions we learn that he is actually the complete opposite.
The part of your post that also drew my attention was the comment on the government. After hearing Mr. Shapiro's lecture on Kafka's writing, I can not help putting some of my focus while reading on the three institutions: church, family, and state. In "The Trial", we see how state can control society and how it is corrupt.
