K would've been better off just ignoring everything about the trial, right? If it's impossible to know how your case is going and your guilt is pretty much guaranteed then why even bother worrying about it until the verdict comes?
>>25637867But he didn’t even do anything wrong!
>>25637873Probably not. I perfectly understand his resistance before talking to the lawyer, but after that? Every part of process seemed futile to resist. The lawyers do nothing for you but brown nose the officials and suggest your innocence. You see a different judge in each hearing and even they have hardly any influence over your trial or how it's going to turn out. The court's influence was everywhere and with so many employed by them they would be able to judge K.'s character with or without his presence in the trial
>>25637867Hi Original Poster!? Great question!?? It looks like you're trying to deal with absurd questions of 20th century politics from a bolshevists perspective. Have you considered that in Yogi and the Commissar, or in Burnt by the Sun, or in Darkness at Noon, or in Gulag Archipelago neither the process of the system nor guilt or innocence matter in any significant way, but, rather that the structure of state repression lays separated from the reciprocating system of self-signifying signs that constitute "meaning" in the texts of the political prisoner memoir?Have you considered unfucking your face with a chainsaw?
>>25637902Sorry I'm kinda slow, are you saying that both me and my question are retarded? I will read those books though :)
>>25637867Correct. The whole thing is a metaphor for realizing your own mortality and there's nothing you can do about that.
>>25637977Not retarded, just a little slow. People who actually experienced "the absurd" in the 20th century with a political show trial theme were capable of maintaining full independent equally absurd cultural or personal experiences. I'd recommend watching the film Burnt by the Sun first, as it is a tragic play of unities on the particular theme of creation of tenuous meaning within a system of political absolutisation of the absurd.
Nah, I'm just not going. Cease and desist? Fine, I'll desist. I'm just not showing up, that's it. I know, I know, I'm just not gonna go.
And my skin would be better if I didn't pick at my acne, but sometimes a man is compelled to do what's wrong for himself even knowing that it's wrong. Such is the human condition.
>>25638571I suppose one can get used to anything I worked at a grocery store a decade or more ago, produce section. Manager got the official display layout for the week; the blackberries and strawberries had to switch places—a whole cartload of each, out of one bin and into the other, right next to each other. I laughed out load and my boss told me that was the first time he had heard me laugh
>>25638578Dostoevsky said "man is an animal who can get used to anything".
