Circular Ruins
This talked about a man known as the “the taciturn man” who landed in a place of an abandoned temple. He had a purpose in which he wanted “to dream a man” and make him real. Labyrinthine was portrayed in his dreams where it was chaotic. It was also shown in the part where restlessness came upon him and started having problems with his dreams. It was a complicated process of dreaming and witnessing a man that he was dreaming where in the end, someone was actually dreaming of him.
The Library of Babel
This talked about a library that is was labyrinthine in itself since it was made up various paths and rooms. There were thirty-two matching books on five shelves in each wall and the title of each book had nothing to do with what the book was about. It seemed that none of the books made any sense but people believed that there was at least something that explained the origin of the Library and the “human race.” This mission was a failure but the narrator seemed to think that there was a “total book” where that book explained all of the other books.
