American Military Theoretical Perspectives in Personality Theory Discussion
Choose at least two (2) different theoretical perspectives that have been covered in this course and discuss how the cultural, societal, and historical contexts within which the theories are derived have influenced their major tenants and framework.SourcesCarl Rogers, Abraham Maslow, & Henry Murray from Personality Theory - https://www.oercommons.org/authoring/22859-personality-theory/15/viewNeo-Freudian Perspectives from Personality Theory - https://www.oercommons.org/authoring/22859-personality-theory/6/viewResponse #1 (150 words+)This week’s forum discussion is a super interesting one. As much as the theories we’ve studied were relevant during the time in which they were introduced, I think it could be said that some of those theories are even more relevant in understanding personality development in our modern, ever-evolving society built upon technological and sociological influences we are succumbing to on a daily basis.The psychodynamic perspective that really stuck out to me in relation to the cultural, societal, and historical influences that make up the framework of the theory is Alfred Adler’s inferiority complex theory which came to fruition after Sigmund Freud’s psychosexual development theory. Any time I’ve read about this theory in the past, I’ve brushed it aside because I couldn’t quite grasp the concept surrounding the level of inferiority infants/children feel from such a young age. As someone who really believes in the power of one’s environment, I felt as if Adler’s theory lacked substance especially compared to other theories that delved deeper into internal childhood conflicts. What I’ve learned in this class and upon further research of his inferiority/superiority complex theory is that it is recognizable regardless of social class, status, ethnicity, gender, etc. whereas other theories, i.e. Erikson’s psychosocial stages of development, were so specific to their concepts, and what seemed to be specific classes of people, that it made it harder to distinguish other valuable takeaways for other types of people, i.e. lower social classes, cultures, environments, etc. Adler’s personality theory, introduced in the early 1900’s, can be applied to so many historical, societal, and cultural issues through the lens of gender and race issues, i.e. social class, inequality, etc. which have been ongoing historical issues all over the world.From a humanistic perspective, people are capable of growth, acceptance, wisdom, fulfillment, etc. if they are able to promote certain physiological, psychological, and self-fulfilling needs. In relation to culture, societal and historical framework, humanistic theorists including Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers, introduced the opportunity for achievement in individuals, promoting more of a healthy road to one’s potential instead of using developmental stages to identify potential psychopathy. Maslow sought to distinguish individuals who could achieve self-actualization but found it necessary to build on physiological and psychological needs prior to being able to fulfill one’s road to self-actualization. Rogers, on the other hand, found that people could achieve if genuine and found acceptance in others, all within a growth promoting environment. Although their perspectives sought fulfillment for the individual, it was at the expense of some of their social and cultural exposures.Have a great week!-JaciResponse #2 (150 words +)In this week’s lesson, individualism and collectivism was mentioned in regard to the role culture has on individuals pertaining to the development of their personality. It also touched on the ways in which the culture in each of the two societies affects and molds an individual’s personality and how they conduct their self as a person. I thought taking a deeper dive into these two topics would bring a pretty good discussion for this week’s forum topic.First and foremost, I will summarize the two theoretical perspectives. Individualism involves an individualistic society in which emphasis is placed solely on an individual’s success, goals, and rights of the individual to utilize their independence and meet their personal goals. The key motivation derived from an individualistic society is an individual’s personal rewards and benefits they obtain for their self. An example of an individualistic society would be the United States of America. Collectivism places focus on group goals, what is best for the group or society, and interdependence. Individuals who live within a collectivistic society are motivated by abiding by and meeting group goals; essentially sacrificing any individual benefit or praise. An example of a collectivistic society would be Japan.Generally speaking, individuals within an individualistic society will more often than not be more concerned with their self (separating their self from others), define their self by personal traits and accomplishments, and be more inclined to have a single-minded view on things. On the other hand, individuals within a collectivistic society will be more inclined to see their self as very well connected to others, define their self by their relationship with others (who they are with other people), and be more inclined to have characteristics of an open and ever changing mindset across different environments.I can relate and provide real world experience with these two perspectives and societies. When I was stationed in Okinawa, it was like culture-shock to me. The main difference that stuck out to me the most was the manner of how the people of Japan conducted their self, which led to a very different demeanor and personality I saw in most of the locals I came into contact with, or became friends with. Personally, I loved it out there, and here’s one of the main reasons why. After being out there for two years, it was refreshing to see a society in which people were so respectful, non-confrontational, hard-working, and took pride in what they did; no matter what their profession was. Walking into a McDonald’s out there – everyone was dressed in slacks, a button-down shirt, and a tie; the food came out looking like you reached into the TV and grabbed it out of a commercial; and everyone worked together in an efficient and timely manner – much different than anything I’ve experienced in America. One day I mentioned this major difference to a local friend of mine, named Teru. Her response still sticks with me to this day. She told me, “in this country, what you do for a job does not define you. As long as you are doing something to benefit others in the society (big or small) and provide for your family, you are respected.” Can we say the same for America?- MariaResponse #3Hello class,The two theoretical perspectives I have chosen are the psychoanalytic perspective and the humanistic perspective. Throughout the last several weeks we have learned about several different perspectives, but these two stood out to me the most. So, for the first, the Psychoanalytic as we know, the major emphasis within this one is Childhood experiences, along with the actions of the unconscious mind. Then within these, we have the major theorist that have contributed the most that we still somewhat follow today, Freud, and Erickson, along with Jung. Now when we talk about the cultural, societal, and historical context of each theorist, one must remember that they established themselves within different periods of time within each. So, in Freud's case, he was the first to establish his portion, he was moving around a lot, and we know Jung and Freud worked together and were invited. We know that majority of the tenants and history that derived these theories were mostly built on the society that played heavily on it at the time slavery and women's rights were the things that America was gripping with, which is why the majority of the theory in Freud's work is today why it's considered sexist to a degree.The next is the Humanistic Perspective, and the major emphasis within this field is Psychological growth, free will, and personal awareness. The major contributors to this one is Maslow and Rogers. Now when we talk about the tenants of this, we must first begin with Rogers. In his cultural context, he was based heavily on faith; from the readings, we know that So, you must understand that majority of these values of culture were carried from the '70s to the early '80s with his work and contribution to it. That, with a heavy hand in faith-based teaching in conjunction with his work, is where we see this portion of events altering an individual's life based on faith or belief in a higher entity.Now when we observe Maslow's portion, we know that he and Rogers worked together at one point, and from our reading, we know that "According to Maslow, his holistic-dynamic theory of personality was a blend of theories that had come before his" (Kelland, 2017), which is a blend into the humanistic perspective as a tenant. In the base during his time at that moment in culture of the 70's he believed that values are important in society and psychology. Now from this time period, we know that culture was about fighting for the marginalized people within America fighting for equality, which is why we see that this theory was derived, and the majority formed of bettering self-sprinkled with religious meaning and understanding your purpose as a human.Haleigh

BY BLOSSOM HOLLAND (Links to an external site.)BORGES’ MYTH OF THE CRETAN MINOTAURThe House of Asterion is a short, fantasy story that retells the classical myth of the Cretan Minotaur from an alternate perspective, written by the Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges. The House of Asterion presents the Minotaur, known as Asterion, who awaits “redemption” in his labyrinth. There are various literary critics who have proposed that the “Borgesian” labyrinth is a symbol for human existence and the universe itself.Furthermore, other critics have accurately explained Asterion’s ironic demise, by the “hero” Theseus, as his earnestly awaited redemption. Asterion’s redemption is not from the freedom offered through death, yet from a metamorphosis which surpasses his fictional universe. The dual redemption of Asterion is not only caused by the classical hero Theseus, but additionally by the reader, who through the method of reading, permits Asterion’s liberation from the labyrinth.InThe House of Asterion, Borges is consumed with the idea of the labyrinth, both in its physical and symbolic form, in addition to the concept of man at its core. In his work, dreams are exceptionally presented, as reality itself and as the benefactors of life. Furthermore, he is absorbed with the concept of time and the infinite, disloyalty, violence, treason, punishment and mirrors.The narrator, who is Asterion, starts by opposing some allegations made against him: such as how he is arrogant, insane and a cynic. Asterion then describes his residence, and explains why he cannot abandon it after what had occurred when he had done so once before. He continues to express how miserable he feels and that he is waiting for his “redeemer” to liberate him from this lonesome existence. The narrator then switches to the third person singular and the voice even shifts to that of Theseus speaking with Ariadne. This is when the reader becomes completely aware that this story is an adaptation of the myth of the Minotaur. The theme of the labyrinth is speckled throughout the text, a house with no doors or furniture, diverging basement hallways, ashen stone galleries, and identical rooms that are also ceaselessly duplicated. This house is Asterion’s universe and the universe is his house. Jorge Luis Borges even touches on the fact that Asterion is a monstrous beast, an extremely lonesome one, as a result of the hysteria experienced by the town’s people during Asterion’s first venture outside of his house.In the original Minoan myth, the Minotaur is confined in the labyrinth, designed by the inventor Daedalus, and every seven or nine years the “beast” is presented with a tribute of seven maidens and seven young men, so that a plague can be evaded. Even though Asterion opposes it passionately, he is a prisoner of his own isolation as well, his divergence, his condition of monstrous beast. Nine young men are delivered to his house every nine years for Asterion to “free from all evil”, with no explained intention. Contrary to the Minotaur, Asterion accepts Theseus and does not fight against his fate.For those who would like to read or re-read the classical myth of the Minotaur please click this link. (Links to an external site.)POSTMODERNISMThe story does include one significant characteristic of postmodern fiction, which is the habit to draw the reader’s consideration to his or her own method of interpretation as he or she reads the narration. This ability to enhance the reader’s interpretative understanding is hinted at by literary critics who all illustrate this story as a journey from confusion to affirmation that Asterion, the narrator and central figure, is certainly the Minotaur of legend. The story allows this method of assurance by narrating the classical Cretan myth of the Minotaur but from the Minotaur’s view. For most readers, the point of realization about the narrator’s identity arrives at the end of the story where Theseus comments to Ariadne that “the Minotaur scarcely defended itself”. Through a stylistic analysis of the narration, one can observe that the central figure is not just proved as a common archetype, yet exalted to a superior realm that can solely be recognized by the reader.LABYRINTHS & MYTHOLOGYThe House of Asterion is set in the Cretan labyrinth, which is illustrated in various works throughout history. From the second century AD to eighteenth century, adopted by Christians and Renaissance poets alike, the labyrinth held a significant symbol for many. In the eighteenth century the labyrinth had become a philosophical metaphor of the finite and the infinite, with the heart of the labyrinth depicting the unachievable meaning of the universe. This idea became more complex moving into the twentieth century, which is known as the “age of labyrinths”, as a result of the domination of labyrinths in literature at the time.Borges’ work presents labyrinths as a typical concept and it is frequently concerned with the diverse literary definitions which labyrinths have gained over the ages. The core of the Borgesian labyrinth has been understood as the core of human existence, or the core of the universe, and essentially all of Borges’ characters aim to encounter a moment of enlightenment at this core. In conjunction with existential concepts, the labyrinth has even a religious meaning. In certain ancient civilizations the labyrinth was at times a place for “actions of divinity”, in addition to rebirth.In the House of Asterion, Asterion regards his labyrinth as a religious place, he recounts how “every nine years, nine men come into the house so that I can free them of all evil”. This deed of divine redemption can be a euphemism for “killing” and certainly, Asterion might not realize that his alleged “god-like powers” do not in fact exist. Regardless, Asterion discovers purpose in his fairly purposeless existence. This alternate outlook destroys the “classic” forms of the narrative, which in spite of their several deviations with particular details, contribute a typical aspect, that of rejecting the Minotaur’s purpose.During the whole of history, the Minotaur has been depicted as either the manifestation of terror, the ramification of monstrosity, or the counter-character of Theseus. In George Frederick Watt’s painting, The Minotaur (1885), the lonesome creature is gazing out to sea when a bird crumbles under his hand. He appears to be awaiting the arrival of someone, and an appearance of melancholy in his posture conveys that he is as dismal as he is bestial. This painting influenced Borges, who suggests an identical uncertainty in his adaptation. Thus, Asterion tests and enhances the classical myth.There are numerous variations regarding the myth of the Minotaur; however, each version is mainly a retelling of the same myth with a concentration on the progression of events instead of the character’s evolution. Nevertheless Borges’ story is different, because it is an interpretation of the myth from the Minotaur’s own perspective. Asterion is locked up in his house with no obvious explanation as to why and lives there on his own, spending the majority of his time pretending, and interacting with his imaginary friend – which is a projection of himself. It is unfortunate that his only experiences with true interaction, is with the doomed youths to be sacrificed. From Asterion’s narrative it is obscure whether the sacrificed are actually murdered or not, yet there are implications that he commits this deed with the belief that murdering the youths is a morally respectable act. This could be a result of Asterion’s conviction that he is assuredly the one to free these people from evil.Subsequently in Borges’ adaptation, amid a human sacrificial ceremony, a dying man foretells that Asterion’s “redeemer” will come, albeit the demand of redemption is never clarified, Asterion is consumed with the idea of his “saviour”. The irony of Asterion’s redemption is because it is through death, murdered by the “hero” Theseus and he is in this manner “redeemed” from his imprisonment. These occurrences are all narrated by Asterion in the first person, thus Borges’ overturns the legend, reinventing the Minotaur, and formerly immersing him once more into the mythical canon. Hence establishing the labyrinth as a site of transformation and rebirth.FAITH & REDEMPTIONAsterion’s obsessive faith in his “redeemer” is strengthened by the particular design of the text. In a desperately desolate world, essentially devoid of human interaction it is not unforeseen that Asterion vigorously hunts for meaning in his macabre contact with people. Furthermore it is no wonder that Asterion implicitly believes an outsider who foretells the arrival of a “redeemer”. Those words are arguably the only words ever uttered by an actual person to Asterion. The linguistic choice implies that for Asterion, loneliness and the loss of human life are not as significant as the advent of his “hero”. He awaits “redemption”, in whatever form, counting down days and years, and possibly even feeling let-down when those audible footsteps are nothing more than sacrificial youths.In accordance with the classical myth, Theseus enters the labyrinth with a crowd of sacrificial contributions and slaughters the Minotaur. Amid the Renaissance period, this achievement was exalted as a heroic victory of good over evil, however in Borges’ narrative the achievement appears trivial and empty, being that Asterion embraces his ironic fate without resistance. In the story, Asterion declares how he takes pleasure in pretending to be hunted, even heaving himself off rooftops. Conceivably Asterion knows the horrible reality of his existence and undertakes self-destructive actions while he waits for the ultimate redemption of death. He believes that the reason for his imprisonment in the labyrinth is because of his royal lineage and how that forbids him from interacting with commoners. Could this be another of Asterion’s misbeliefs, or is he conscious of his abominable nature and merely prefers not to confront it?FREEDOM FROM A NIGHTMARISH EXISTENCEThe House of Asterion allows the reader to connect personally with Asterion’s psyche and experience the world through consciousness. The classical myth narrates how the Minotaur was condemned to the dark and dreadful labyrinth because of his beastly description. Asterion assures himself that he is not a prisoner, but a godly being of sorts who is capable of absolving evil, and in his forlorn attempt to discover meaning, he cultivates a blind faith in “redemption”. His fate then unravels into two independent levels of reality, the Minotaur is liberated from the labyrinth of his existence through death. Furthermore, ironically Asterion’s “redeemer” is none other than Theseus, whose conventional heroic role is overturned when he slaughters a vulnerable and pitiful creature. The moment of discovery is pronounced by an immediate switch to an all-knowing third person narration: The morning sun shimmered on the bronze sword. Now there was not a trace of blood left on it.Through Borges’ narration, Asterion is transformed in the reader’s mind as a conscious individual that endures the same anguish, the same solitude, and the same confusions as any other person. At that final moment in the story, when the impossible is ultimately possible, the Minotaur dies and is reborn as Asterion, an aristocratic son doomed to a life of misery. In the mind of the reader, Asterion is liberated from the labyrinth of his conventional fictional world and from his archetypal role of a monster in classical mythology. The godlike redeemer whose visible appearance Asterion can only conceive, is literally the reader of the story,who by the means of reading, completes the magical rite of metamorphosis and the abominable beast into a symbol of the human condition. The story concludes with a line from Theseus – “Would you believe it, Ariadne? The Minotaur scarcely defended himself.” — Which ultimately confirms to the reader that Asterion is undoubtedly the Cretan Minotaur.

In his cultural context, he was based heavily on faith; from the readings, we know that So, you must understand that majority of these values of culture were carried from the '70s to the early '80s with his work and contribution to it. That, with a heavy hand in faith-based teaching in conjunction with his work, is where we see this portion of events altering an individual's life based on faith or belief in a higher entity.Now when we observe Maslow's portion, we know that he and Rogers worked together at one point, and from our reading, we know that "According to Maslow, his holistic-dynamic theory of personality was a blend of theories that had come before his" (Kelland, 2017), which is a blend into the humanistic perspective as a tenant. In the base during his time at that moment in culture of the 70's he believed that values are important in society and psychology. Now from this time period, we know that culture was about fighting for the marginalized people within America fighting for equality, which is why we see that this theory was derived, and the majority formed of bettering self-sprinkled with religious meaning and understanding your purpose as a human.Haleigh

BY BLOSSOM HOLLAND (Links to an external site.)BORGES’ MYTH OF THE CRETAN MINOTAURThe House of Asterion is a short, fantasy story that retells the classical myth of the Cretan Minotaur from an alternate perspective, written by the Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges. The House of Asterion presents the Minotaur, known as Asterion, who awaits “redemption” in his labyrinth. There are various literary critics who have proposed that the “Borgesian” labyrinth is a symbol for human existence and the universe itself.Furthermore, other critics have accurately explained Asterion’s ironic demise, by the “hero” Theseus, as his earnestly awaited redemption. Asterion’s redemption is not from the freedom offered through death, yet from a metamorphosis which surpasses his fictional universe. The dual redemption of Asterion is not only caused by the classical hero Theseus, but additionally by the reader, who through the method of reading, permits Asterion’s liberation from the labyrinth.InThe House of Asterion, Borges is consumed with the idea of the labyrinth, both in its physical and symbolic form, in addition to the concept of man at its core. In his work, dreams are exceptionally presented, as reality itself and as the benefactors of life. Furthermore, he is absorbed with the concept of time and the infinite, disloyalty, violence, treason, punishment and mirrors.The narrator, who is Asterion, starts by opposing some allegations made against him: such as how he is arrogant, insane and a cynic. Asterion then describes his residence, and explains why he cannot abandon it after what had occurred when he had done so once before. He continues to express how miserable he feels and that he is waiting for his “redeemer” to liberate him from this lonesome existence. The narrator then switches to the third person singular and the voice even shifts to that of Theseus speaking with Ariadne. This is when the reader becomes completely aware that this story is an adaptation of the myth of the Minotaur. The theme of the labyrinth is speckled throughout the text, a house with no doors or furniture, diverging basement hallways, ashen stone galleries, and identical rooms that are also ceaselessly duplicated. This house is Asterion’s universe and the universe is his house. Jorge Luis Borges even touches on the fact that Asterion is a monstrous beast, an extremely lonesome one, as a result of the hysteria experienced by the town’s people during Asterion’s first venture outside of his house.In the original Minoan myth, the Minotaur is confined in the labyrinth, designed by the inventor Daedalus, and every seven or nine years the “beast” is presented with a tribute of seven maidens and seven young men, so that a plague can be evaded. Even though Asterion opposes it passionately, he is a prisoner of his own isolation as well, his divergence, his condition of monstrous beast. Nine young men are delivered to his house every nine years for Asterion to “free from all evil”, with no explained intention. Contrary to the Minotaur, Asterion accepts Theseus and does not fight against his fate.For those who would like to read or re-read the classical myth of the Minotaur please click this link. (Links to an external site.)POSTMODERNISMThe story does include one significant characteristic of postmodern fiction, which is the habit to draw the reader’s consideration to his or her own method of interpretation as he or she reads the narration. This ability to enhance the reader’s interpretative understanding is hinted at by literary critics who all illustrate this story as a journey from confusion to affirmation that Asterion, the narrator and central figure, is certainly the Minotaur of legend. The story allows this method of assurance by narrating the classical Cretan myth of the Minotaur but from the Minotaur’s view. For most readers, the point of realization about the narrator’s identity arrives at the end of the story where Theseus comments to Ariadne that “the Minotaur scarcely defended itself”. Through a stylistic analysis of the narration, one can observe that the central figure is not just proved as a common archetype, yet exalted to a superior realm that can solely be recognized by the reader.LABYRINTHS & MYTHOLOGYThe House of Asterion is set in the Cretan labyrinth, which is illustrated in various works throughout history. From the second century AD to eighteenth century, adopted by Christians and Renaissance poets alike, the labyrinth held a significant symbol for many. In the eighteenth century the labyrinth had become a philosophical metaphor of the finite and the infinite, with the heart of the labyrinth depicting the unachievable meaning of the universe. This idea became more complex moving into the twentieth century, which is known as the “age of labyrinths”, as a result of the domination of labyrinths in literature at the time.Borges’ work presents labyrinths as a typical concept and it is frequently concerned with the diverse literary definitions which labyrinths have gained over the ages. The core of the Borgesian labyrinth has been understood as the core of human existence, or the core of the universe, and essentially all of Borges’ characters aim to encounter a moment of enlightenment at this core. In conjunction with existential concepts, the labyrinth has even a religious meaning. In certain ancient civilizations the labyrinth was at times a place for “actions of divinity”, in addition to rebirth.In the House of Asterion, Asterion regards his labyrinth as a religious place, he recounts how “every nine years, nine men come into the house so that I can free them of all evil”. This deed of divine redemption can be a euphemism for “killing” and certainly, Asterion might not realize that his alleged “god-like powers” do not in fact exist. Regardless, Asterion discovers purpose in his fairly purposeless existence. This alternate outlook destroys the “classic” forms of the narrative, which in spite of their several deviations with particular details, contribute a typical aspect, that of rejecting the Minotaur’s purpose.During the whole of history, the Minotaur has been depicted as either the manifestation of terror, the ramification of monstrosity, or the counter-character of Theseus. In George Frederick Watt’s painting, The Minotaur (1885), the lonesome creature is gazing out to sea when a bird crumbles under his hand. He appears to be awaiting the arrival of someone, and an appearance of melancholy in his posture conveys that he is as dismal as he is bestial. This painting influenced Borges, who suggests an identical uncertainty in his adaptation. Thus, Asterion tests and enhances the classical myth.There are numerous variations regarding the myth of the Minotaur; however, each version is mainly a retelling of the same myth with a concentration on the progression of events instead of the character’s evolution. Nevertheless Borges’ story is different, because it is an interpretation of the myth from the Minotaur’s own perspective. Asterion is locked up in his house with no obvious explanation as to why and lives there on his own, spending the majority of his time pretending, and interacting with his imaginary friend – which is a projection of himself. It is unfortunate that his only experiences with true interaction, is with the doomed youths to be sacrificed. From Asterion’s narrative it is obscure whether the sacrificed are actually murdered or not, yet there are implications that he commits this deed with the belief that murdering the youths is a morally respectable act. This could be a result of Asterion’s conviction that he is assuredly the one to free these people from evil.Subsequently in Borges’ adaptation, amid a human sacrificial ceremony, a dying man foretells that Asterion’s “redeemer” will come, albeit the demand of redemption is never clarified, Asterion is consumed with the idea of his “saviour”. The irony of Asterion’s redemption is because it is through death, murdered by the “hero” Theseus and he is in this manner “redeemed” from his imprisonment. These occurrences are all narrated by Asterion in the first person, thus Borges’ overturns the legend, reinventing the Minotaur, and formerly immersing him once more into the mythical canon. Hence establishing the labyrinth as a site of transformation and rebirth.FAITH & REDEMPTIONAsterion’s obsessive faith in his “redeemer” is strengthened by the particular design of the text. In a desperately desolate world, essentially devoid of human interaction it is not unforeseen that Asterion vigorously hunts for meaning in his macabre contact with people. Furthermore it is no wonder that Asterion implicitly believes an outsider who foretells the arrival of a “redeemer”. Those words are arguably the only words ever uttered by an actual person to Asterion. The linguistic choice implies that for Asterion, loneliness and the loss of human life are not as significant as the advent of his “hero”. He awaits “redemption”, in whatever form, counting down days and years, and possibly even feeling let-down when those audible footsteps are nothing more than sacrificial youths.In accordance with the classical myth, Theseus enters the labyrinth with a crowd of sacrificial contributions and slaughters the Minotaur. Amid the Renaissance period, this achievement was exalted as a heroic victory of good over evil, however in Borges’ narrative the achievement appears trivial and empty, being that Asterion embraces his ironic fate without resistance. In the story, Asterion declares how he takes pleasure in pretending to be hunted, even heaving himself off rooftops. Conceivably Asterion knows the horrible reality of his existence and undertakes self-destructive actions while he waits for the ultimate redemption of death. He believes that the reason for his imprisonment in the labyrinth is because of his royal lineage and how that forbids him from interacting with commoners. Could this be another of Asterion’s misbeliefs, or is he conscious of his abominable nature and merely prefers not to confront it?FREEDOM FROM A NIGHTMARISH EXISTENCEThe House of Asterion allows the reader to connect personally with Asterion’s psyche and experience the world through consciousness. The classical myth narrates how the Minotaur was condemned to the dark and dreadful labyrinth because of his beastly description. Asterion assures himself that he is not a prisoner, but a godly being of sorts who is capable of absolving evil, and in his forlorn attempt to discover meaning, he cultivates a blind faith in “redemption”. His fate then unravels into two independent levels of reality, the Minotaur is liberated from the labyrinth of his existence through death. Furthermore, ironically Asterion’s “redeemer” is none other than Theseus, whose conventional heroic role is overturned when he slaughters a vulnerable and pitiful creature. The moment of discovery is pronounced by an immediate switch to an all-knowing third person narration: The morning sun shimmered on the bronze sword. Now there was not a trace of blood left on it.Through Borges’ narration, Asterion is transformed in the reader’s mind as a conscious individual that endures the same anguish, the same solitude, and the same confusions as any other person. At that final moment in the story, when the impossible is ultimately possible, the Minotaur dies and is reborn as Asterion, an aristocratic son doomed to a life of misery. In the mind of the reader, Asterion is liberated from the labyrinth of his conventional fictional world and from his archetypal role of a monster in classical mythology. The godlike redeemer whose visible appearance Asterion can only conceive, is literally the reader of the story,who by the means of reading, completes the magical rite of metamorphosis and the abominable beast into a symbol of the human condition. The story concludes with a line from Theseus – “Would you believe it, Ariadne? The Minotaur scarcely defended himself.” — Which ultimately confirms to the reader that Asterion is undoubtedly the Cretan Minotaur.
