The
Library of Babel is trying to explain the existence of the universe using the
metaphor of a library. Both, the universe and the libraries are infinite and
interminable.
The books are really important is this short
story. Books are chaotic, and the live of someone who works with books tour
around explaining the reason of the existence of those books.
So for me, while reading the story I had the idea
of people as books in a huge universe as the library. It also made me think about the Christian myth
that can be found in the Old Testament.
I really like how Borges creates the image of a labyrinth
from the chaotic vision of universe, because it makes me think about what has
an end or what is infinitely.
In conclusion, the story creates a doubt to the
readers and makes us think if we really now what the finite is or is its just
some kind of sensation created by our minds.
