Doesn’t find the right metaphor

“This podcast can’t decide what it wants to be. An exciting escape drama? Or a political analysis of the Troubles? It also fails to see the obvious metaphor: prisoners were able to escape from the Maze, though people thought that was impossible. And Ireland seems to have been able to escape from the maze of conflict, thought many people had thought that too was impossible. Not everyone escaped, in either case, and in both there is the danger of ending back where one started, but one can describe a positive outcome for both prisoners and country. Lacking that metaphorical unity the podcast lurches around for a focus (from “ripples” to the obvious fact that narratives clash) and ends up imprisoned in its own negativity. It seems to criticize the British for not running a more effectively repressive prison!”
