This is the best summarizing of Christianity ever told. The "law" is intended for everyone, but that is a lie. Only the "few" get to attain it. That is the Christian religion in a nutshell. It is perverse and pathetic.
that is a very simplistic interpretation of the trial.
it's not simply an allegory for christianity or a fable about justice or guilt. the trial is meaningless, and kafka believes the universe is meaningless. any meaning we get out of it is created, not discovered.
@Allocator2008 Try converting to Judaism and then see what you think of this story. Christianity alows you to walk right in. Getting out in one piece is the challenge. Judaism requires a full sincerity. Traditionally a Rabbi is inclined to discourage you. The illusion is that you cant get in. But thats the point. If you try to side step the gate keeper you can forget it. Besides, if you are to enter without reguard for the keeper why would he want you with such a mindset to join. The(contabove)
@Allocator2008 man denies himself access. The point. It may be said that the keeper is the Law and the man doesnt see this while he tries to see PAST the keeper. If he never comes to understand he will lose his opportunity. When he is worthy he wont ask, he will just go in. Asking was the first mistake. Poor poor man.
@Allocator2008 Lol, no, this interpretation is neither the intent of the gatekeeper parabel nor the doctrines of christianity. But this shouldn't bother you, apparently you are not even coming close to any gate.
I reckon Kafka must have had the same experience I have just had with embassy staff.

The law is Lacan's objet petit a. Reading it through this understanding explains it totally.

Check out my videos on writing. Very inspired by Kafka.
