JOSEPH K.'S ATTEMPTS

According to the famous sociologist and psychoanalyst Erich Fromm, Joseph K., the main character of Franz Kafka's “The Trial”, is a man who does not know how to take responsibility for his own existence. He can't afford to devote himself to any idea. He leads a boring, monotonous life, devoid of values. He is basically a superfluous man, useless to society or even to any individual. In the adaptation of Ewa Ignaczak, the title process is therefore the last moment in which K. can change his life. However, instead, he becomes even more self-centered, self-interested, independent and superficial. Will the situation of arrest provoke in him any reflection on his flat and “lukewarm” existence? Will Joseph K. find the answers to the questions: Who accuses him? What authority conducts the proceedings? What law is he guilty of? Will he know happiness and take the opportunity to enjoy life?
