Before the Law there stands a doorkeeper. To this doorkeeper there comes
a man from the country who begs for admittance unto the Law. But then the
doorkeeper says that he cannot admit the man at the present time. The man, on
reflection asks if he will be allowed, then, to enter later on. “It is possible,” says
the doorkeeper, “but not at the present time.” Since the door leading into the
Law stands open as usual and the doorkeeper steps to one side the man bends
down to look; the man bends down to peer into the entrance and when the
doorkeeper sees that he laughs and says: “If you’re so strongly tempted, just try
to get inside without permission. But note that I am powerful. And I am only
the lowliest doorkeeper! From hall to hall, keepers stand at every door, one more
powerful than the other. And the sight of the third man is already more than
even I can stand.” These are difficulties which the man from the country has
not expected to meet. The Law he thinks should be accessible to any man and
at all times, but when he looks more closely at the doorkeeper he decides that
he had better wait until he gets permission to enter. The doorkeeper gives him
a stool and lets him sit down at the side of the door. There he sits waiting for
days and years. He makes many attempts to be allowed to enter and wearies the
doorkeeper with his importunity. The doorkeeper often engages him in brief
conversation asking him about his home and other matters but these questions
are put quite impersonally as great men put questions, and they always conclude
with the statement that the man cannot be allowed to enter yet. The man, who
has equipped himself with many things for his journey, parts with everything
he has, however valuable, in the hope of bribing the doorkeeper. The doorkeeper
accepts it all, saying, however, as he takes each gift, “I take this only to keep you
from feeling that you’ve left something undone.” During all these long years the
man watches the doorkeeper almost incessantly. He forgets about all the other
doorkeepers and this one seems to him the only barrier between himself and
the Law. In the first years he curses his evil fate aloud; later, as he grows older
and as he grows childish, he only mutters to himself. Finally his eyes grow dim,
and he does not know whether the world is really darkening around him or
whether his eyes are only deceiving him. But in the darkness he can now perceive
a radiance streaming inextinguishably out from the door of the Law. Now
his life is drawing to a close. Before he dies, all that he has experienced during
the whole time of his sojourn condenses into one question which he has never
yet put to the doorkeeper. He beckons the doorkeeper, since he can no longer
raise his stiffening body. The doorkeeper has to bend down so as to hear him,
for the difference in size between them has increased very much to the man’s
disadvantage. “What do you want to know now?” asks the doorkeeper. “You are
insatiable.” “Everyone strives to attain the Law,” answers the man. “How does
it come about then that in all these years no one has come, no one has come
seeking admittance but me?” The doorkeeper perceives that the man is nearing
his end and that his hearing is failing, and so he bellows in his ear: “No one but
you could gain admittance through this door, since this door was intended for
you, and only for you. I am now going to shut it.”
—Franz Kafka, from The Trial (1915)
