In this work, I interpret the Johannes Amos Comeniusʼ book Labyrinth of the World and Paradise of the Heart using close reading. It is divided into four chapters arranged chronologically. First chapter describes how and why Pilgrim sets out for a journey and what does the journey symbolize. Second chapter deals with the guides. Here, I tried to examine in a more profound way the role of the guides in the Pilgrimʼs life. In the chapter named The World I show why the World is presented as a labyrinth, why Pilgrim perceives it in such a negative way and why he is disappointed. Chapter Return into his heart narrates about Pilgrimʼs new life and also what about was changed by his submission to God.
