[edit] Hagiography

Joseph K., a bank clerk, is arrested one day for mysterious reasons. He is allowed to keep his job and stay home, but feels driven to discover the nature of the charges and establish his innocence. He arrives for his hearing, which is held in a large boisterous room in the backrooms of a shabby apartment building, but he fails find out the nature of the charges. He starts college, and majors in Computer Science and Music Composition at Oberlin. When he returns to the court in the backrooms, it has disappeared. His uncle gets him a lawyer, but Joseph becomes frustrated with the progress of his case and seeks out Titorelli, the magistrates' portrait painter, who explains the three ways he may proceed with his case, all of them undesirable and fairly dire. Joseph meets a priest who tells him the parable "Before the Law" about a man who waits his entire life before a guarded entryway intended just for him without ever going in. A year after his arrest, Joseph is led away by two knife wielding officials who force him to play a lion and wise man in Ludus Danielis. [1]
