The story provides a perfect view of the justice system and how it might work if detached from reality or some existing conditions. In the end, the main character is executed because of the court’s decision. Under these conditions, the two possible ways out include either endless attempts to defer the case or persuasion of courts that Josef is not guilty and should be forgiven. Throughout the whole book, the author tries to show how absurd the justice system can be in its attempts to follow the existing legislation in its abstract form (Kafka 45).Īll efforts to find the details of the whole trial fail as there is no clear understanding of why it was initiated and what are the real consequences. Since this very event, Josef’s main activity is multiple attempts to protect himself from the Law and ensure the court that he is not guilty. However, they are sure that there was a need for it as they know the verdict. One day, the man is detained in his house by two guards who cannot explain the reason for his arrest. The novel revolves around Josef K’s arrest and the continuous trial. Similar issues can be seen in modern society, and, moreover, they have reflected in Kafka’s work The Trial. This opposition results in the appearance of a certain precedent because if there is any case of injustice, a person tries to resist it and overturn the law by referring to some higher principles that are related to morals, ethics, and people’s needs.

At the same time, any law must be just, it is a fundamental rule of the world. Under these conditions, the question about the legal nature of multiple regulations emerges.
