    In Franz Kafka’s The Trial‚ Josef K. is guilty; his crime is that he does not accept his own humanity. This crime is not obvious throughout the novel‚ but rather becomes gradually and implicitly apparent to the reader. Again and again‚ despite his own doubts and various shortcomings‚ K. denies his guilt‚ which is‚ in essence‚ to deny his very humanity. It is for this crime that the Law seeks him‚ for if he would only accept the guilt inherent in being human (and‚ by so doing‚ his humanity itself)
