"There returned that old excitement-let it all come, even the black Minotaur, so long as it came; so long as I might reach the center, and have the final prize I coveted." (Fowles, 322)
This covers life! The black Minotaur stands for all those trials that we will face on our way to true happiness, it is tough of course, it is a maze after all. We will be confused, and we will have to back track, and we will have to grab the bull by his horns in order to get to where we are going. Where is that? Happiness of course, love, friendship. Everything we strive for. The minute we took our first breath, we were dropped into the middle of a maze, a maze that has no truly center; for every accomplishement we aim for will be the center to us, but then we will realize there is yet something else we aim for, another center of the maze. It is all exciting! I always think of Harry Potter when anyone mentions a maze however, and just keep replaying the movie scene. Harry grabs the chalice, and is transported to the grave yard...I think of this as yet another maze, and when Harry sees the Black Minotaur (Voldemort) he faces him, and when he grabs his prize yet again, he is once again transported to another maze, another trial. This is our life, and what an exciting life it is...will the maze every really end?
