So I was thinking about the last class when we were talking about labyrinths or mazes. When the professor said, "We are all entering a labyrinth" Does this mean that everyone is in somewhat of a maze of life? All our lives are planned out supposedly, destinies, prophesies, etc. The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony by Robert Calasso is a maze of different characters and stories, its difficult trying to keep everything that is happening straight. For instance the quote "How did it all begin?"(Calasso pg. 4) gets repeated several times in the first chapter because that's what Calasso thinks happened. Every time it is said, he's telling a different part. "Stories never live alone: they are branches of a family that we have to trace back, and forward."(Calasso pg. 10)
