In The Labyrinth of the World
we follow a pilgrim through the world of the early seventeenth
century. Though separated from us by nearly four hundred years,
the story of the pilgrim and his “job search” still rings true today in
many respects. What aspects of the pilgrim’s world do you think
are most similar to our 21st century society in the US? Pick two
scenes from The Labyrinth that
you believe are the most relevant to our world and its problems.
In your two-page paper highlight the parallels, and also consider why
after all these years these problems still persist in our
culture.
