    🧑‍⚖️ The Trial: O.K. or KO'd

    C, R, E, and B psychoanalyze Kafka, his biases, and his insecurities through the world of "The Trial". The group thoroughly critiques the main character, Josef K., and the way he treats other characters in the novel by touching on his socioeconomic standing, growing psychological condition, and the struggles of the author who curated him. In a back and forth about character development (or lack thereof), the influence of the temporal setting, and the impact of Kafka's identity on his writing, we discuss whether reading "The Trial" is worth your time or if it is, in fact, a trial. Full spoiler warning.
