I think that the Library of Babel is the short story that most obviously reflects the theme of the labyrinth. Borges uses the infinite number of books and stories in a library to demonstrate the neverending concept of a labyrinth. The story is about a man who in the library and very familiar with it. The reader is told that the books are all arranged in exactly the same way on every shelf. I think possibly the relationship in this story between the labyrinth, the books and the old man shows that life is in some ways never ending. Life, like the books and stories in the library are limitless.
