Castelul

The assistants are so annoying and always watching. They represent that feeling of never having any real privacy in a crowded world.

“The Castle has appointed me land surveyor.”

K. spends the whole time waiting for a phone call or a letter. It feels just like being stuck in a bad job application cycle.

The village feels so heavy and cold. Nobody wants to help the newcomer because they are all afraid of their own shadows.

“In your arms I am a stranger.”

Frieda thinks she found love with K. but they are both just using each other to feel less lonely.
