Borges claims that his works are devoted to mirrors, minotaurs and daggers, which are the main metaphors in his works, implying his main maze: the mirror refers to the metaphysical maze of time, the dagger refers to the realistic maze of space, and the minotaur refers to the maze of the subject itself. All his works are to build these mazes, so "mirror, minotaur and dagger" has become a metaphor throughout all his works. The final answer to his maze world is his most personalized image and almost all metaphors of the nature of this world. -Excerpted from the paper "On the Means of Expression of Borges Labyrinth Literature". I don't know if it will help.
