    Like Aesops Fables and Orwells Animal Farm, The Maze is populated with animal characters who, in their words and actions, reveal truths about human nature. In The Woods, a very popular, clever, and ambitious rat named Sniff-who commands a pack of deputy rats known as The Five-intends to replace the aging leader, Owl, when he retires on election day in two weeks. As a famous athlete of the air in his youth, Owl has established The Tradition of Wings.In his speeches to the animals, Sniff-an assistant to Owl but already acting as if hes the leader-promises to establish what he calls The Kingdom of Sharing, in which rats will be leaders and all other animals will be followers. Opposing Sniffs rise to power are two winged animals-a well-known poet hawk, Wing, and his studious friend, Butterfly-and Claws, a young, robust, and competitive squirrel.The central image of the story is a maze. Sniff has one built ostensibly for community recreation but actually to make money and to display rats superiority as maze-runners. Other characters in this sometimes-humorous story include Spider, an architect; Snake, a shady character; Stub, a mole who assists Sniff; and Frog, an instructor of bug-catching.The Maze is not only about human nature but about animal life in general. It explores necessities of survival such as status and power, altruism and self-interest, the defense of territory, and the conquering of enemies through group cooperation.
