specifics about each trial and the different flaws are entirely different,
however.
The purpose of the plot in The Trial is to show the downfalls of a
judicial system that is run without the public’s knowledge or input. Kafka
wants the reader see the flaws in their judicial system and to become
actively involved in the judicial reforms. He wants the reader to see that
