Thesis:
The Minotaur and the Labyrinth model connects to Felipe’s choice to enter the old, dark house and Consuelo’s constant attempts to seduce him with a young Aura lead to Felipe’s blindness of reality.
The infinity loop symbolizes Felipe’s journey from the moment he answers the advertisement. The red mark represents Felipe moving through his journey. As the story goes there are moments when Felipe is thinking of escaping the house with Aura when Consuelo is away, that’s when the red dot would be located in the thinnest parts of the infinity loop. Also there are moments when Consuelo’s completely blinded Felipe and he is not even considering leaving such as when he is in bed with her saying that he will always love her. The wider areas of the loop represent the moments when Felipe is so deep in the darkness that hes not even aware of the truth. There are moments when it seems like Felipe might break free, and shorty after some event happens and it takes him farther in the darkness, its a constant cycle.

I really like the idea of using the infinite loop for your journey model. It is a nice representation of Felipe, and you defend it well. I like that you talk about how he goes deeper and deeper into darkness.

This is really nicely conceived, Ion. The infinitiy loop connects in an interesting way to this text, especially as the ending isn’t necessarily and “ending.” I like, to, that you connect various points of the journey model to specific aspects of this image. Nicely done!
