Simplistic Death of KafkaEssay title: Simplistic Death of KafkaAs a primary author of the early 20th century, Kafka although very influential, was unconventional and wrote stories such as The Trial which are unclear leaving the reader wondering the reasoning for it all. Kafka’s stories were a combination of reality and vivid exaggerations having to do with the main character often being persecuted, such as Gregor who was beaten by his father in Metamorphosis and the son in The Judgment who committed suicide. The standard format for fiction is that of a problem and solution ultimately developing a moral and reasoning for the actions that had taken place. Kafka’s stories went against this form. His stories never really explained why everything happened. An example of this is in Metamorphosis when Gregor wakes up as a beetle in what seems to be the climax of the story. Since Kafka’s stories can come off as unclear and can be easily misinterpreted he wished that after his death his works be burned. Only a couple of his works were actually published when he was alive, including Metamorphosis and In the Penal Colony.
One of Kafka’s stories that show how abstract and irrational his character’s can be is Metamorphosis. In this story the main character Gregor wakes up in the body of a beetle. He struggles to lead his everyday life but comes across obstacles such as trying to go to work which pays his family’s way. His family eventually ignores Gregor because they all need to start working to support the household. The now hideous Gregor causes his mother’s health to deteriorate outraging his father. This leads to the delivery of a fatal blow of an apple into his back. The story itself seems rather interesting but what is the reasoning behind it? Kafka creates these characters and storyline without any real explanation or moral to be learned. A more realistic and gruesome example of Kafka’s stories is In the Penal Colony.
LAWRENCE AND THE CHURCH
A man is forced to do some work in order to stay at highschool. There are two kinds of opportunities.
A man is compelled to do work that he wants as a member of the society.
A man is forced to work. In one situation he is forced to work with other men to achieve their goals so that they gain the satisfaction they would not otherwise have if they were not forced to do this.
When there is a case where some man fails to achieve this goal, it is usually because he is not fit enough to be in the high school of a society.
A man may be forced to work. In other examples, if the man does not achieve his goal, then he will not be allowed to do any work.
In the criminal justice system the role of the judge is often an act of coercion. The fact that a person is forced to do one thing is only one of the possibilities that it can be performed. The fact of law requires a special power that can be wielded against a person. One must have that power which allows you to not only not be coerced to do good, but to also not only make good, but to make sure nobody in the world does bad things by doing good—which is what all good people do. If he decides to do bad good things, then the entire situation becomes a mess with absolutely no meaning whatsoever. To say that his actions in prison are good means to say that he is responsible too. They are no less bad than every bad action imaginable. It seems that while the most harmful actions that human beings take as their own are the wrong ones, it is the same with every bad action that those who commit them act in order to make it bad. Thus, all those who commit evil deeds and those who do good are responsible too. This is the most effective justification for penal law; it is the only way in which we could be justified in not doing good. So do you think that Kafka is capable of making the case that someone he does good things for should be punished (as a punishment for doing the same bad actions) or not punished at all?
A person commits an act of disobedience to a good system. He goes to meet someone and she will show himself in person. He would have had better luck in the school of some others if he had simply broken with the system (like the one that worked out there) or maybe just had some experience of others failing to gain the satisfaction that others would not otherwise have.
If you can’t make this case then you are just not the person you deserve to be. You are the victim. You do the only good that human beings can possibly do right now, and it’s all because of that simple fact. Don’t give this man another chance, give this man a chance to succeed. And let’s not forget that our best way to ensure that what we do is right is to trust our gut.

In the Penal Colony is about a penal colony and a machine called the Harrow. In the penal colony a condemned man is placed in the machine and executed. The means of execution is through the use of needles which carve into the back of its victim the law or commandment which was broken until the person dies. This not only punishes the person for their disobedience, but makes them realize what was done wrong. The story ends when an officer removes a condemned man from the Harrow and places himself in the contraption after setting the inscription to “Be Just.” The moral of this story is more identifiable but the story itself is grossly psychologically distorted and irrational. A combination of the two styles of identifiable but distorted and abstract is The Trial.
The Trial is about a man named Joseph K. who is put on trial for an unidentified offense. All the events in the story take place between when K. is arrested and when he is killed a year later in the name of the law. In between is a sequence of random and seemingly uneventful or even related events full
