>>7029364
No, that's a meme about Catcher in the Rye.

>>7029307
He corrupted the Athenian youth.

>>7029307
It's his punishment for existing in an absurdist piece of literature

It's never actually said (possibly because Kakfka died before he wrote it down) but it's implied to be something either incredibly horrific or incredibly trivial.

Writing a piece of shit

Gnostical Turpitude, duh. He's guilty of the same crimes anyone is, he is only punished because he is singled out and brought to light by a system that demands sacrifice. "Someone must have slandered Joseph K". I've always thought the novel is about a sort of McCarthyism. The lower court made up of K's equals put him before the high court who find him guilty as they would any man.

>>7029357
Yeah, it's pretty shitty.

Killed an old woman with an axe

>>7029307

>>7029307

He shot an Arab on the beach.

>>7029307
Being Jewish. inb4 gb2/pol/, a lot of kafka's work carries the sense of alienation and not fitting in indicative of the Jewish diasporas in europe. Not unlikely given Kafka grew up in an area fiercely divided between Germans and Czechs during the rise of nationalism.

>>7029429
Huh. I thought he shot the sheriff; and did not spare the deputy

>>7029307
Is there any indications at all in the book about who snitched on him? I couldn't find any, could it be that twat from the bank who hated him and wanted his position?

he became a giant cockroach

Onanism. He can't see because he went blind.

>>7029506

>>7029523
>That's Plato.
AND BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING: it's from PLato's work, which is why I said Plato, the same way I said the other authors where those things happen in their work. I didn't fuck anything up you bitches, I'm right

>>7029523
Socrates, not Plato.

>>7029526
Damage control never looks good, m8.

>>7029526
>>7029527

>>7029532
It's ot "damage control", because it's compeltely consistent with the rest of the post YOU FUCKING CUNT, and I said it before anyone could call me out anyway, SO FUCK THE FUCK OFF

>>7029538
At first I agreed with you. Then you turned into a PMSing little girl so I just want to see you get your ass handed to you

>>7029542
epic trolling, /b/rother. you might want to screencap this for a future "best of /lit/" thread :^)

>>7029542
That won't happen though as my reasoning is perfeclty airtight and you can't poke a single hole in it

>>7029542

>>7029324
Sensible TOP KEKAROO

>>7029307
He lived.

>>7029523
Hey, you mean Socrates. But the other ones are good. Nice job! :)

Kafka's entire bibliography confronts degradated ("pure") and well-established ("façade") characters. This, like many other examples, is a journey from the latter state to the former, ridden by the guilt of being a successful piece of shit in a capitalist reality.

>>7029378
uhh no. The way it's written the actually crime isn't even what's important. I think even if he finished it he would have left the specific crime out
