Judgement does not come suddenly; the proceedings gradually merge into the judgement.
In Franz Kafka's "The Trial," the notion that judgment is not an abrupt event is explored through a slow and perplexing process. This process reveals how individuals are often ensnared in legal struggles, where the lines between guilt and innocence blur, and the eventual verdict is a culmination of various factors rather than a single moment of clarity.
This gradual approach to judgment reflects the complexities of the legal system and the human experience within it. Characters in the story become victims of an opaque bureaucracy, highlighting the anxiety and helplessness that can accompany such intricate situations. Kafka illustrates that the journey towards judgment can be as significant as the judgment itself.
