"In the Penal Colony":

In the penal colony by Kafka.The story of an explorer,who get  invited to an island  to watch an execution  by machine . I felt it was a  difficult story and different from the  stories we read because in the penal colony the explorer is forced to execute one of the officers  in the jail,  however  the judgment or the metamorphosis the story ends  by commits suicide.  In the penal colony, I think  the theme of the story is about not getting a fair justice system.

  1. I agree with you on the fact that in both the judgment and the metamorphosis, the main characters commit suicide at the end of both stories. What do you mean by the story being about an unfair justice system?
