Answer:

Critics have not yet reached a consensus on what "The Trial" is written by Franz Kafka. Although many believe that this is an autobiographical work, where Kafka expresses how he feels in society, others believe that the work is about the authoritarianism of the judicial system and even a criticism about the lack of civil rights. This shows how Kafka's work is complete and full of layers that touch different points of society and humanity.

Step-by-step explanation:

"The Trial" tells the story of Josef K. who is indicted for an unspecified crime and has to go through a long, confusing and unfair trial process, where improbable evidence is planted on him and where he does not have the ability to defend himself, remaining at the mercy of those who judge him.
