Response to The Trials (pg 166-231)

   As the case for K continues, K, being impatient with his lawyer, Herr Huld, decides to dismiss him. After entering the building, K founds out another client, Block, is also present. He exchanges a few information with Block about lawyers in these cases before meeting with Herr Huld and annouce his dissmissal. Herr Huld, seems to attempt to redeem his position as K's lawyer, decides to show K how he actually interacts with his clients and how he actually treats K in a special way. K, witnesses how Block, who he believe to be a man that he is willing and happily to exchange information with, turns into the "dog" of the lawyer and acts on everyway to please him. K continues to dismiss the lawyer and also seems not to accept the painter's offer because he does not want the case to last longer.
   Next, K encounters a priest, the prison chaplain, who discuss a story of a man who was denied entrance through the gate leading to law by a doorkeeper. The man waited for years and bribed the doorkeeper only to be still denied until his death. Although I still can't connect the story to the story in The Trial (And I wish someone can answer that for me), it might has something to do with the court that K is dealing with. K might be the man waiting to be admitted and the whole law is the court, where he is never admitted to understand or enter.
   At the end, after a year of trial, K was brought out by two men to a quarry where he is executed when one of the men stabbed a butcher knife into his heart. Throughout the whole process, K has not show much resistance and seems to accept his fate (He is even waiting for them).
  The end of the story came quickly while there are still a lot of question not yet answered. Personally, I do wish to understand what K was accused of, but that was never revealed. Beside the first two questionings, the story also did not mention the rest. There is also no information about other defendants, either about what they were accused of and the consequence of it. I've never read anything written by Kafka, but I suppose this is his style; books full of unnatrual instances that were not explained, leaving space for imagination.
