The Beast Chapter 12-13: The Labyrinth

The Labyrinth is used as a symbol of confusion. When Spoon leaves there are a lot of things that happen and people get confused during the time he was gone. Gabi was so perfect in the eyes of spoon when he left and then when he came back he realized that Gabi was a new person. When he came back she was confused and she didn’t know what to do with her future. She gave up on her dreams for her future. She cared after that for the little things, she was more concerned on what to do for the next hour and day and not her future. After Gabi took drugs she couldn’t turn back, it was better for her to take drugs instead of facing herself or anybody. Spoon is trying to save her but now the only way to save her is to stop her from taking drugs.

Many people get lost inside if the Labyrinth and they mostly don’t get out when they get in. People like Clara get lost, she was perfect before he left and then she got pregnant. Scott, before Spoon left, was very good friends with Spoon and Scott ended up dropping out of school. The only way out of the Labyrinth is to get help. Monica talks about how she had nobody there for her when she was sucked into the world of drugs. Now she wants to help those who are affected and stop people from falling to “The Beast”. Drugs seem to be very good for people who want to get away from everything in their life and sometimes living a lie is better then living your life. If you run fast enough you can still excape.
