Before the Law by Kafka

Time to read!

As well as "A Drink in the Passage," we will deal with "Before the Law" by Kafka. Gabi has kindly scanned the short short story for you (mind you, it´s not the same as the translation you´ll find in internet).

Time to listen!

A 3 minute video with an adaptation of Before The Law (as featured in Orson Wellses' movie "The Trial"):

Time to think!

What's/'re the meaning/s of the story?

There're plenty of analyses and discussion forums about this story on the Net.  Look for summaries or essays and take one to class. Highlight the most important ideas to read aloud or retell (2 minutes), and then say if you agree or disagree (+ invite others to express their point of view).
