Kafka choose a very interesting way of ending the book. Personally, it sort of made me very upset as a reader. After spending, the whole book puzzled by the situation that K. was in, the novel ends with the reader not knowing what he was actually being accused of. Instead, K. is killed off by the resistance. After researching I found out that this book was actually developed into a movie. The link to the trailer is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_7weUR0oMY. As a movie writer, I would love to make a movie on this book due to the fact of the open ending. It would be one of those movies where you cannot wait to see the cause in the next one.
Anyways, the ending of the novel further reinforced the ideas that were presented to us by Mr. Shapiro. The three institutions truly set K. up to fail. In fact, he even died because of the institutions. It was very Kafkaesque, relating to the central theme of all of his other pieces.
I also wanted to include the image above because of one thing that stuck out to me. Franz Kafka was a writer who wrote this pieces in German. They were then translated into English. I find it very interesting that trial and process are represented by the same word. For Joseph K. this trial was a tumultuous process that took over his life.
