Critical thinking questions on “The Trial” by Franz Kafka
Choose one of three questions below and answer and essay format.
1. In the beginning when K. realizes he is under arrest he gets that’s upset with the policeman and asks them for identification papers and for a warrant. The officer
warn him that someone in his position should not try to give orders and should not upset the officers. How is this relevant today? Consider that K never learns why he
is under trial; also consider the recent controversial stop and Frisk laws in New York City.
2. K. States,” I’ve been indicted, but can’t think of the slightest offence for which I could be indicted. But even that is all beside the point, the main question is:
who is issuing the indictment? What office is conducting this affair? Are you officials?” (P.17). Think about your own life and the life of your friends and family.
Who acts as judge and jury in out lives?
3. When in his office at the bank, K. Enter a closet and finds that the whip-man is pushing the two policemen that K. had complained about ( see Chapter 5 ). The
whip-man punishes the two policemen by beating them with a whip. Consider this scene is taking place in a closet. What do you think is the significance of this?
