In the chapter " Kaufmann Block / termination of the lawyer "in Franz Kafka's novel" The process "is the exchange and communication of Josef K. and the merchant block a further insight into the hallway and in the conditions of the trial of K .
- K. goes to the house of the lawyer to withdraw his representation of this. When he arrives at the house, he noticed two strange eyes Look at the window to the apartment of the lawyer and hears someone inside of him with the " of warning" (HL 120) It is he! "(HL 120 ) emits.
- K. has it go to the piece to the bottom, he also hears the door key to another apartment on the ground floor of the house which is inhabited by the man with the robe is turned quickly. (HL 120 ) marriage to come out of the annoying man again and get involved can, K. is determined to get into the apartment of the lawyer.
- Sun pushes through the door and K. stormed into the hall r. ( HL 120 )
- K. There looks just like Leni, wearing only a shirt and runs away (HL 120f. )
- K. wants from the " small (n), drought (s) man with a full beard "to know if he hired the lawyer and whether Leni his" beloved " Let ( HL 121 ). He was raised with a little spread legs and behind the back of clasped hands before the Kaufmann ( HL 121) and feels already protected by the nature of his clothes and " superior to lean very little . " (HL 121 ) By devalues block as he tried in him not a rival for the favor of Leni's see.
Nevertheless there is something not very congruent, if, on the one hand, to scour every corner of Leni can, but at the same time stressed that the whole thing entirely to him to "drain" ("He felt so free as you would otherwise only is, if you speak in a foreign land with low people, everything that affects one even in reserves, only indifferent to the interests of the other talks, they raised this before himself, but can also be dropped at will. " HL 121 ) - The body language signals that K. sends a block, so here, the question of whether Leni was his mistress, has vehemently from him. (121 HL)
- After block so impressed an inferior position in the communication with K., K. can from the superior position to block look down " smiling." (121 HL) in the gesture, to exercise leniency and perhaps favor in law, he nevertheless does not shy away from, block (" waved in the hat", HL 121 ) with a mere hint force, with the candle herzugehen before him, according to Leni to search the entire room. ("Not so hurry lights here!" HL 121 , " K.'m Leni could have been hiding here, he had the clerk scan every corner, but the room was empty." HL 121 )
- the tone of an interrogation continues K., Block to ask his name ( hot as you, then? ", HL 121 ). himself, he does not, however, perhaps because he's because of previously made by Block exclamation suppose, that it can anyway this is known. Thus, K. Block, cast body language-gestures ("remain standing him but not K. " HL 121) and linguistic-gestural before him, signaling his social superiority and his male dominance. In it he sees as opposed to the student and the examining magistrate on his experience with the woman of the court usher or a male equal nor hierarchical social superior "rival". While he was still that of downright "emasculated " has been (→ interpretation sketch), he turns here to a certain extent the tables. As if he still wanted to graze on the situation, he questioned whether Block has called him his real name ( HL 121), is, moreover, having him just previously certified his credibility. But now, it seems, he wants to make the businessman appeared in this way once more afraid of his possible reactions as a supposedly deeply wounded rival.
- In a sense, himself and his emotions completely in the face of a very difficult situation under control, he basks almost in the sense of "cool-sounding" serenity ( He felt so free as you would otherwise only is, if you speak in a foreign land with low people, everything that affects one even in reserves, only indifferently with the interests of the other talks, they increased by from themselves, but can also drop at will. " HL 121). The perception and articulation of a "feeling" by K., after all, it seems, but in truth just yet "unreal" and yet only the reverse side of the psychological defense .
- The physical and social devaluation block can also K. . an intellectual reduction follow the detention block from behind his suspenders ( K. held the businessman behind the back braces; HL 121), Ks Upper pedantic-acting Index finger on the picture and judge the question of whether block know the judges (" Do you know?", HL 121 ) degrade the merchant to a freely steerable and controllable object Ks. The question is also aimed to provide block cognitive abilities on the one hand and his "world experience" in connection with the judicial system to the test. From the top down, from the critical parent I talked, it K. Block, which is about the importance Judge of the illustrated deceptive, blame like a little child and teach . ( you have "no great insight," said K. [...] ", HL 121 ). Later However, he is very eager to learn what experience has done to block the judicial system. Finally, he amused himself even in an ironic manner on the block evasion, which his error, or rather the fact that he is presented by K. so as to be clearly seems embarrassed. " But of course," said K., "I forgot, of course you must have already heard it." HL 121f .)
- His repeated question " But why, why?" (HL 122) shows, however, that block, almost helpless, not understanding the irony. The better he understands the domineering presence Ks, which also drives him with his hands on the floor, where he asks a question in the style of the application to block, where Leni had hidden. ( you know where Leni has hidden? ", HL 122 )
