Postmodern Labyrinthian Gaming:

The idea of the labyrinth in literature has been discussed in numerous artistic works throughout history ever since it was inscriptions on stones until its application in modern artworks through the vision of different artists, scholars, authors, and historians. It has been used variously as a myth, a way of perceiving, a philosophical metaphor for complexity, and a way of constructing narratives. In this sense, it has been used in some works as a part of the experimentation and innovation that is intrinsic to postmodern language, ideas, philosophies, and life at large. This study attempts to explore the epistemology of the concept of the labyrinth through the investigation of the implementation of the concept in the two postmodern texts of John Fowles' novel The French Lieutenant's Woman (1969) and Hwang Dong-hyuk's TV Series Squid Game (2021).
