Please read the short story by Borges entitled "Circular
Ruins" and "The Library of Babel". Please compose a short
written response to the story considering the concept of a labyrinths (and the
numerous forms of a labyrinth in the story).
In his stories titled “The Circular Ruins” and “The library
of Babel” the author Jorge Luis Borges talks about the concept of labyrinths
and its various forms in his stories. His work makes the readers questions
about various possibilities and ways of doing things and thus forming a
labyrinth of questions that have somewhat substance or a reason in them.
According to Borges the ideal world is comprised of fictional stories and
characters and its various dynamics. His different and unique style of
approaching things leads us wonder if this fictional universe exists. His
stories depict meaning in their work, as an art piece is very aesthetic in
nature. His stories depict that if you can create chaos if you take away
information. What is real or not can also be defined due to differences in
culture, religion or communication. And thus Labyrinth can be physical, liberal
or of informal value. Borges thereby uses time as labyrinth by looping complex and intricate series of events with unexpected endings in his stories.
