Abstract

Joseph K. is in trouble, and he doesn't know why. Accused of a crime the details of which he is not privy to, his life becomes one impossible search for an acquittal. All his energies are throwing into determining his crime and a way to prove his innocence, but ultimately his efforts are in vain and he perishes at the hands of the court. The way in which K. leads his life during the trial determines what end he meets. A priest offers him some advice in the form of a parable, but K. fails to recognize the relevancy of it to his own life. The parable of the doorkeeper illustrates that meaning, in any sense of the term, must be drawn directly from an individual's choices; there is no greater or ultimate meaning to any individual's life, or anything in one's life, beyond that which one gives it.
