Flashback to May and everyone was bitching about Charlotte having so many races because there isn ' t good racing during and after the 600 and now Charlotte is good again lol <| sep |> ur welcome <| sep |> She might get a buff bcs of that . <| sep |> What is with this culturewide assumption that , by vigilantly managing every detail of a case , and constant prodding and effort , and inflicting ones self on as much of the court as possible , a case may be won ? I see it as the people around the court are seduced by it they think of it as important , and their obsession with it reflects selfabsorption . This aspect of the book seems like the court is a dangerous , malevolent , and works by confusing the mind of it ' s victims it ' s witchy , occult forces . I don ' t see this aspect of the story as a critique of actual institutions , it ' s sort of a horrorstory premise . I don ' t have evidence for that . I read somewhere Kafka had training in the law and did have criticisms of the courts . And the specific question Why do people think attending to details of the case makes them more likely to win ? might be answered by cultural history , as you suggest Maybe Kafka was commenting on what he thought would be realistic or common thought processes . But as I said , it seems to me to be part of the given scenario it shows the danger Joseph K is in , to give his life over to his hopeless case .
