The Labyrinth

On the Pages 22 l.22, 23 l. 6 and 23 ll. 26-27 Alaska and Miles are talking about a labrinth.

In a book called 'The General in His Labyrinth', by Gabriel García Márquez, Simón Bloívar is the main charakter. Alaska has brought this book to the lake where she and Miles met. They talked for example about famous last words which Miles knew of course, but when Alaska aksed him for the last words in the book he could not answer.
Simón says 'Damn it. How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!'

Then they started talking about the maze.

They ask each other what the labyrinth is, if it is living or dieing and which is he (Simón) trying to escape- the world or the end of it...
Alaska wants to find out what the labyrinth is and asks Miles for his help.

We could ad the questions why is it called 'labyrinth' and what it stands for.
