Abstract concepts such as justice and conscience have a dynamic structure that can change from time to time and even from person to person in some cases. This stems from the fact that the content of relevant concepts is determined by the worldview of a particular community. Justice is not a mechanism that we can draw boundaries for, on the contrary, it is an activity that is constantly creative. This is where the closeness of works of art and abstract concepts such as justice comes from. Both the work of art and the concept of justice are largely acts of the imagination. Just as the work of art changes according to the perspective of the subjects trying to understand it, justice is enacted according to the understanding of the community of subjects. It is precisely because of this that in every effort that attributes a mechanism function to justice, justice is reduced to a single point of view and turns into the justice of the victor. In this case, the successful becomes right and evil becomes commonplace.... In this novel, Kafka deals with the law legitimizing the power and the absurdity arising from the reduction of justice to the law, through a dystopian court fiction.
