everything in the trial makes sense.

I have a feeling that the english translation of the title is incorrect, as it should in fact be "The Process" (as in a judiciary process).

My interpretation of The Trial is as follows:
1) "The process" of Josef K is simply put his life. He gets dragged in to it without being asked and with no explanations. He tries to understand the nature of life and how it all works, but is unable to grasp the mysterious and unfathomable inner workings of the way things are. Just as life, the trial is complex and unexplainable. Other people around him know very little of the inner workings or don't really bother to question the process.

2) The world is run by laws, both state, religious and moral. The process has judges, both high and low. Low judges are the people around you, the society. The high judges are gods.

3) K's lawyer is a religious institution, a priest. He claims to protect K in front of the high judges (gods), he claims to know the judges. He gives his other client, Block, an old manuscript (The Old Testament) to read about the law. Block reads faithfully, but he barely understands anything in it.

4) The artist claims to know and understand some of the law. K tries to get some insight into the meaning of life through art, but the artist simply tries to sell his paintings.

5) Just as to life, there's no fulfillment to the process and it ultimately ends in death. The suspect is never acquitted.

What's the smartest book you've ever read?
