In Borges short story, “Circular Ruins”, he writes about a man who escapes into nature to dream. His dreams then take him too many different places and allow him to experience many different things. He dreams to escape the affects society has had on him. He retreats to the jungle to find out more about himself. His dreams allow him to imagine many different things. In the end he realizes that he too, is just a dream. He is just a figment of ones imagination.
Borges seems to use his dreams to escape the effects of society. Can one find their true meaning in life by dreaming? Borges seems to point that way both in his short story and poem. Dreaming allows one to be who they want to be or who they think they are. This difference or idea could lead to finding out who one really is when society and its effects our thrown out.
