Summary
Franz Kafka: The Process
Franz Kafka left us a truly great literature, and his most famous and influential novel The Process is a universally recognized masterpiece. The process does not belong only to school reading, but has long been a part of general reading; almost everything is known about him, just like the author, and pages and pages have been written. Therefore, we only note a few notes here: The adjective "novel about the law" could be added to the process, because it offers a metaphorical, critical, but also grotesque-tragic image of a bureaucratized judicial and state system. Every free-thinking man who, willy-nilly, found himself helpless in a senseless dispute with callous and arrogant "authorities" can be recognized in him. "The little man wants to cross the line, but he can't," sang Šarlo, perhaps inspired
by Josef K., who found himself in a "conflict with the law" (or rather: the law came into conflict with him), but he cannot figure out which law it is, who is accusing him and why, and what the rules are in this bizarre (staged?) process. Namely, certain "institutions do their job" by conducting proceedings against him, but these institutions are unknowable, and the proceedings are unclear and illogical, but therefore ruthless; because K. is "obviously guilty" or at least "justifiably suspicious", but it is not clear how much and why. And he, confused, lost, paradoxically determined to be indecisive, by waiting at the door of the law rushes at a law that, in fact, does not exist but exists, whose rules are unknown but inexorable and to whose draconian punishment the powerless surrenders calmly...
Typically Kafkaesque, just as befits the creator of that famous epithet.
