Carly Cooper

This story begins, as many of other Borge's stories with a character that is unknown and an explanation that is unknown. The reader doesn't know why this character is living in a home with an infinite amount of doors or why he never leaves or why people flee from him in the streets when he does. Until the very end the I did not realize that this story was about Minotaur a greek mythological charachter and I am always confused as to why Borges makes the reader wait so long to enderstand the story. It is a good story, however, and it held my attention because I had so many questions i knew would be answered at the end and it was short enough that i was able to wait until the end to find out.
