After reading Franz Kafka’s book The Trial, I found my self intrigued by the story that he had written. ... I’m going to discuss one of them and talk about how they affiliate with Kafka’s personal life. The main discussion that I will go into depth about will be the role the women played in his life and how some of the different women in the book resemble his past lovers.

In Kafka’s personal life, he had gotten real sick with tuberculosis and lived his life in emotional dependence on his parents, which he loved and resented. ...

Kafka describes her to be a girl with an outlook of thinking about her life only and she doesn’t care about anybody else’s. ... K. ... From my perspective, I feel if she talks to K. ... Elsa, the cabaret dancer and the woman that was the usher’s wife made me think of them as one of the many girls that Kafka had been with. K. had something more with Leni, which was the lawyer’s nurse, it was a relationship as if they had known each other for a long time and got along very well.
