The court remains largely opaque and confusing. The members are unknown or anonymous, although all but want to know any friend of Josef K. somebody in court. One gets the impression over time that the Court mainly includes contacts, no evidence or even hints. Anyway, it is difficult to substantiate or not to blame if you do not know what one is accused. As the artist explained Titorelli, one also has hardly any Chance of acquittal when the court is satisfied first from the guilt of the accused. Evidence to the contrary are then apparently not more important. Curiously, the prison chaplain also says:
This quote is actually in exactly the opposite direction of what was spoken by the painter and also rejects completely the traditional understanding of the courts and the judiciary in general. It is therefore natural that the court is more a metaphor for anything. What exactly is this "something" is probably the only Kafka (information on the problem of interpretation below) know. However, it is not unlikely that the court either for Kafka's authoritarian father or his own guilt reflected.
Apart from the court seems to be almost everywhere in the world of Joseph K.. He constantly states that the buildings in which he resides, the court premises some possesses. These are always in the attic. An escape from the court is not only impossible, since it is already located in all buildings. It shines through the roof position are also symbolic of the things to be the highest point in the hierarchy (rather than a hierarchical pyramid represents one simply remains a hierarchy-house). At the same time, the boundaries between "normal" world and the world of the court: In his first summons had Josef K. 's work to find the court because it was not marked and the outside looked like a regular apartment. Also located the Whipper with the guards in a lumber-room of the bank contrary to the expectations to such a Bestrafungsort, as well as the place of execution of Josef K., who is an easy quarry.
is also brought to the court with mostly dirt and a stuffy, uncomfortable air here. Josef K. is in the vicinity of the court facilities is always evil, he breaks down even once.
is also worth mentioning that Joseph K. accessible only with the lowest levels of the court comes into contact. Apparently, it is but the justice system is a huge, opaque hierarchy. This one feels reminded of the bouncer legend, to be followed after the first in the door or a myriad of other doors - And at the first fails, the main character.
