Library Babel
The only resource that can be used is the pdf I attached.
In “The Library of Babel,” Jorge Luis Borges provides a series of observations into the nature of language–the anthropological and cross-cultural elements of its creation and usage. He chooses to do so in the form of a parable, a kind of riddle, to help communicate the spirit of his theory.
Between the following quotes, Borges intimates that there is a continuum to his viewpoint on language:
a) “They (librarians) will acknowledge that the inventors of writers imitated the twenty-five natural symbols, but contend that that adoption was fortuitous, coincidental, and that books in themselves have no meaning” (114).
b) “I will be bold enough to suggest this solution to the ancient problem: The Library is unlimited but periodic. If an eternal traveler should journey in any direction, he would find after untold centuries that the same volumes are repeated in the same disorder–which, repeated, becomes order: the Order” (118).
In your response, speak to the relation between these passages, and what Borges’ text generally says about the way words work.
