Published in 1925, The Trial is classified as both absurdist and psychological fiction. The dominant theme of The Trial involves the obvious struggle one encounters in establishing one's innocence. The Trial of Franz Kafka is not autobiographical; and understands the literary elements of symbolism, characterization, and themes; and received extensive and in-depth reviews. The Trial is a parable written in the third person (limited omniscient) depicting the trials of a man trying to establish his innocence for a crime he did not commit. The entire book revolves around a main character, Josef K., a young, ambitious and reputable banker who is arrested without having committed a crime. The story begins with his arrest. He is outraged and defiant of everything the officers and inspector tell him. The following year, Josef K. did everything in his power to win the surrealist case against him. The court remains impassive and indifferent to K.'s testimony, and his friends abandon him. The narrator captures K.'s paralyzing disregard for the unjustifiable and senseless battles waged against him by the court, the law, and society. He is ultimately overcome by his own doubt in trying to establish his innocence within the framework of a law which he admits to his captors whom he does not know. The novel is less about the struggle between K. and his wrongful captors than about the struggle between K. and himself.
