A quest, “defined as an adventurous pursuit of a spiritual goal” (Oxford 681), has four key elements which sets it apart. Every quest has a “quester” or “a person who goes on the quest whether he know is or not” (Foster 3). Next, the quester always has a place to go and initial reason for going.

The book follows a young boy as he makes his way through “life” which is represented by colorful mazes and dark corridors (Seuss, 1998).
