The Trial Part 2

In The Trial by Kafka, the lawyers creates various methods of trying to keep his clients underneath his power. He attempts to manipulate his clients to realize that the lawyer actively participates in each individual case. However, K. sees his scheme. "K. had the feeling he was listening to a contrived dialogue that had been repeated many times, that would be repeated many times more (139)..." One method is to use Leni. She acts like she intervenes on behalf of the client, which in this case is Block. Leni acts like she genuinely cares about the case and tries to help by coaxing answers out of the lawyer. It works perfectly on Block and others like him because he renews his enthusiasm within the case. Also, the lawyer use the art of generalization. Block wants to hear answers or anything about his case, yet the lawyers tells him that he spoke to a judge but never gives a name. The lawyer makes a template of material to use against his clients so that they will keep him in service. It demonstrates that the lawyers are not doing all that they can to help the client. They want more money than they want genuinely help the people in need.
