Through the analysis of formal features, symbolism and intertextuality in <em>El Martín Pescador, </em>I propose three types of mazes as a reflection of the hero’s itinerary within the city. This reading finally suggests that Martin’s alienation is solved by acquiring a metaphorical language provided by his journey through the oneiric world. </p>https://revistes.uab.cat/brumal/article/view/356alienation, maze, luis durán, lacan, mirror, oneiric
