I agree , I don ' t believe those bundles are worth it . <| sep |> I don ' t know what ' s more painful , it having to take 3 shots , or the fact after the first he shot a ton of bullets and didn ' t hit you . <| sep |> Already there ' s a bank building in each city . Can u find them ? XD . just a fill in guard NPC atm but du du du . <| sep |> Different versionsGutenberg Like a dog ! he said , it was as if the shame of it should outlive him . Breon version Like a dog ! he said it seemed as though the shame was to outlive him . Mike Version OUP ' Like a dog ! ' he said . It seemed as if his shame would live on after him . Just noticed this while searching the text K lied and said Franz ' s screams were just a dog howling To keep the assistants from coming nearer , he called out It ' s me . Good evening , sir , the call came back . Has anything happened ? No , no , K . replied , it ' s just a dog howling in the courtyard . Do we assume the author ' s bio is important ? If so . I think the Trial is essentially fictional autobiography , it ' s Kafka using writing to cope with being caught in a situation with no acceptable way out . Kafka wrote about recurring fantasies dreams ? of a knife twisting in his heart in his diary , and expressed longing for that to finally befall him . As he was writing the Trial , in his diary , he wrote that his own guilt is beyond doubt . I ' m somewhat comfortable with the idea that this is just selfpsychoanalysis therapy . He psychoanalyzed himself in a lot of letters to his lovers and to his father . He also read and wrote about Freud . I think he started out from a position of guilt , of desiring punishment and death he told Max Brod he was suicidal on a few occasions , and demanded his doctor to euthanize him , to refuse is to be guilty of murder . typical kafka logic . Maybe he used writing to formulate a strategy to cope ? Which is not to say it ' s not an important book that ' s worth reading and analyzing in its own right . About TULOB I think the author explicitly explained he wrote the novel to protest the Nietzschean notion of ER , it ' s light because Nietzsche said the idea of eternal recurrence is a heavy burden . So then a lack of recurrence must be light , yet unbearable . If the idea that we live futile life in deplorable conditions only to have to go through it all over again and again without end is terrifying , burdensome , then the idea that we can never experience the same thing again , that recurrence degrades , is perhaps equally lamentable Proust Madam Bovary sort of get into that . I think the preoccupation of ER was somewhat pervasive in Europe at the time . Nietszche wasn ' t the first to write about it and a notorious but brilliant antisematic contemporary of Kafka , Martin Heidegger , famously wrote Being and Time , which was in part a reaction to Nietzschean version of ER It ' s ironic that Heidegger also dealt with a lot of the themes in Kafka ' s the Trial . Yet his political answer to the exact same angst was to join the Nazi party . Anyway , I think ER is one of the themes being explored in the Trial , but not the main theme , and not as explicitly as in Metamorphosis . The word sra in Sanskrit connotes cyclic , circuitous change . It also refers to the theory of rebirth and cyclicality of all life , matter , existence . The story surrounds a family called Samsa .
