SORIN TITEL: CROSSING THE LABYRINTH OR A PARABLE OF DEPERSONALIZATION

Summary/Abstract: Hermeneutical study of Titel’s novel “The Prisoner’s Long Journey”, our paper aims to approach the labyrinth as a closed universe, where fear is responsible for the loss of humanity and individual identity destruction. Gifted creator of closed worlds, Sorin Titel was certain that all literary works metaphorically describe journeys. As a parable of depersonalization, the journey imagined by Titel becomes roaming, even wandering, as any final destination seems lost. But neither the purpose, not the significance of the journey are important, but the endless search, the continuous walk and especially the journey as a state of being. The world as a circle becomes, through desacralization, the world as a circus, symbol of decadence and corruption, the existence appearing as an absurd and grotesque show.
