The present work seeks to analyze the mechanisms of production of anguish and guilt in the work “The Process” by Franz Kafka. We will analyze some passages of the text and in them we will try to point out certain elements of the procedure of punishment (judicial and socialmoral) and its reflection of subjective self-punishment resulting from this guilt. In the end we intend to approach the subjectivity of the metaphor of the “doors of law” mentioned in the penultimate chapter of the work and its correlations with the inevitable guilt of subjectivity that blames itself.
