One Hundred Years of Solitude

When we discussed the labyrinth in class, I didn't even know what a labyrinth was. Until I started thinking of what to write my blog about, I wasn't even sure I knew how to connect One Hundred Years of Solitude to a labyrinth. Both are long, confusing and require your full attention. In a labyrinth, if you try to get through it as fast as you can without knowing where you're going you may end up either frustrated, lost or taking twice as long as if you would take your time. If you try to skim the book to finish a reading, you will miss introductions or deaths of characters or important plot elements. Just like a labyrinth, you'll end up confused, frustrated and needing to reread the story. Labyrinths appear very loopy, as if it's crossing its own path. This book loops through time and repeats character's actions and the same events happen over and over.
