Themes of law and justice are represented in numerous variations in Franz Kafka's The Trial. Most notable are the themes and relationships presented in Chapter 9 of the novel. Here the reader experiences the parable “Vor dem Gesetzt” or “Before the Law.” This parable represents a social construction present almost everywhere. Humans seek acceptance in various social constructs, and the law is no different. Humans, and especially Joseph K, attempt to reach a state of understanding in different aspects of life, and The Trial expresses the desire to understand and be accepted into the law. The parable serves as justification for the book's themes. Although one might assume after reading the novel that acceptance and understanding was a theme, the parable works to draw the reader towards this idea. There is a one-to-one relationship that materializes when Joseph K's parable and story are separated into distinct sections. Each element of the parable "Before the Law" represents an element of Kafka's Trial through which the story of Joseph K is told. By comparing the separate and distinct sections and explaining their relationships to aspects of the story, it is possible to understand the law and justice, even if distorted as it is represented in the novel. Before the topics of law and justice can be understood, terms must be conceptualized so that they have a codified definition during the reading process. Law in this sense not only represents or signifies the general authority through which society is governed, the codified set of rules and guidelines that govern society, but must also be understood as a distinct form or entity that can be understood and implemented. Without this understanding, the messages of the parable se...... in the center of the card ......g of the law are coincident and combined. A person either understands both or does not understand them at all, they do not exist separately. The novel cannot exist without the parable and the parable alone does not represent the overall idea of ​​the combination of the two. Humans seek acceptance in various social constructs, and the law is no different. Understanding the parable means that the reader understands this journey and recognizes where the characters went wrong in both stories. Each element of the parable "Before the Law" represents an element of Kafka's Trial and both are necessary to understand the overall message of the novel. The Trial should not be regarded as a story solely or entirely for entertainment. Rather, it should be seen as a social commentary on how the law works and the people it governs and how to determine what is law and justice..
