«... the important thing is you mustn't take it too hard. There are so many awful things happening in the world!» (Chapter 1: Arrest...) ~ «"Never attract attention to yourself! Stay calm, however much it goes against your character!"» (Ch. 7: Lawyer - Manufacturer - Painter) ~ «"... it is often better to be in chains than to be free."» (Ch. 8: Block, the businessman - Dismissing...) ~ #Finished: #TheTrial by #FranzKafka • Rating: 9/10 • Favourite characters: The Prison Chaplain, #JosefK., #Titorelli • Favourite chapters: Chapter 9: In the Cathedral; Ch. 6: K.'s uncle - Leni; Ch. 5: The Whip-man • No other book I have read before has reflected the feeling of alienation as greatly as this book has done. A bleak metaphor of the complex bureaucracy and hierarchical organizations, the powerful yet enigmatic system called "The Law", which has arbitrarily arrested Josef K., is also a criticism of the absurdity of judicial systems, certain forms of government, especially totalitarian regimes, spititual/religious orders, and inaccessibility of authorities in these systems. The shocking ending is as absurd and unforgettable as the beginning; and all the absurd stuff and anxieties that Josef has experienced, providing existentialist depth to the #novel, symbollically shows most people in the modern society is under sort of an arrest: they have various responsibilities, they cannot behave freely, they may somehow have anxieties and fears, they must prove themselves and be successful, they must struggle for livelihood: all these are, in a way, man's trials in life. ~ «... clearly it must have caused a great deal of pain but it's important to maintain control of oneself at important moments..» (Ch. 5: The Whip-man) ~ «"Above all, the free man is superior to the man who has to serve another."» (Ch. 9: In the Cathedral) ~ «'correct understanding of a matter and a misunderstanding of the same matter are not mutually exclusive'.» (Ch. 9: In the Cathedral) ~ #Kafka #Trial #JosephK #K #Huld #Leni #Block #FräuleinBürstner #UncleKarl #DerProzess #Prozess #Kafkaesque #modernism #book #books #bookstagram #bibliophile #booklove #read #reading #literature #instabook #classics https://www.instagram.com/p/CA0YAhaAENC/?igshid=1c6c2p8jeio47

«Someone must have been telling lies about Josef K., he knew he had done nothing wrong but, one morning, he was arrested...» (Chapter 1: Arrest - Conversation with Mrs. Grubach - Then Miss Bürstner) ~ «"You'd better think less about us and what's going to happen to you, and think a bit more about yourself. And stop making all this fuss about your sense of innocence; you don't make such a bad impression, but with all this fuss you're damaging it..."» (Ch. 1: Arrest...) ~ [All of the quotations were taken from David Wyllie's English translation] ~ #CurrentlyReading: #TheTrial by #FranzKafka. The Trial begins as almost eccentrically as The Metamorphosis: One morning #JosefK. gets arrested for an unknown reason, which is not explained to him, and he tries to find out why he has been arrested, what's behind the deep mystery of his conviction and trial. The enigmatic system that has arbitrarily arrested him is an ambiguous and powerful force with an hierarchial order, making the reader question justice and the law. The novel is very exciting and kind of eerie: the feeling of mystery and alienation that the protagonist's experiencing can be felt in almost every line. There are some eccentric characters and absurd events, like the arrest itself, which are typically #Kafkaesque. One can't help but feel for Josef K., and wonder what he may have done to get arrested, of if he has been arrested for no reason; however, I must say that Josef has some moral flaws: he's a proud man, trying to feel superior to others even in his dire situation, and he is sort of lustful, which can get him into trouble. ~ «"Who do you think you are? You want to see some point in it while you're carrying out something as pointless as it could be? It's enough to make you cry!"» (Ch. 1: Arrest...) ~ «It would have been so pointless to kill himself that, even if he had wanted to, the pointlessness would have made him unable.» (Ch. 1: Arrest...) ~ #Kafka #Trial #K #FräuleinBürstner #MissBürstner #MrsGrubach #UncleKarl #Franz #Willem #DerProzess #Prozess #modernism #book #books #bookstagram #bibliophile #booklove #novel #currentread #reading #read #instabook #literature #bookworm #classics https://www.instagram.com/p/CAsnwkFAjee/?igshid=10dplhmfmcdlr
