Literary Conflict In The Maze Runner

The Maze Runner, directed by Wes Ball in 2014 is Science Fiction action film. It follows the journey of a band of teenage boys trapped in a glade surrounded by a seemingly endless maze. As we meet each character, their power status is conveyed through film techniques such as camera angles and colour as well as through their personality. This is especially shown through the characters Thomas and Gally as they often clash in both their power struggle and curious verses security beliefs.

The situation reminds me of the film The maze runner by Wes Ball, it also portrays the theme that people change in different circumstances. This theme is shown through the character Thomas, a teenager arrives in a glade at the centre of a giant labyrinth. Like the other young dumped there before him, he has no memory of his previous life. He feels helpless and try to kill himself. The quote “ I tried to kill myself in the maze, climbed halfway up those bloody walls and jump right off.” Helps emphasize a fact that Thomas has tried to kill himself because he thinks he will never get out this bloody place, he lives in the maze like caged bird.

Like many novels in the young adult genre, The Maze Runner by James Dasher can be interpreted as a metaphor of the challenges of growing up. Throughout the novel, many undercover metaphors are revealed. A metaphor for birth, the boys are brought to The Glade with no memories, life in The Glade later becomes comforting like an ideal childhood. Unlike the peacefulness of The Glade, the maze becomes a period of adolescence. Eventually, in the end of the novel, The Gladers manage to fight their way out of the maze, entering the harsh adult world

Thomas is the narrator and protagonist of the story. He arrives in the maze with no knowledge of who he is or was. He only remembers his name and nothing else about his life. Thomas proves to be brave and clever even though he only has a very limited memory of previous knowledge of the Maze. Since arriving in the maze, Thomas makes both friends and enemies and proves to be a leader among the other boys with him in the maze.

Minho is one of the most interesting characters in the book. He was the leader of the boys, called Gladers, and one of the wisest characters in my opinion. Thomas is the main character of the story. Despite his memory loss, he helps guide the Gladers out of the maze they have been placed in. His strong efforts to save the Gladers and do what’s right has earned him the respect and trust to become a leader.

In the beginning, the main character, Thomas, has his memory wiped so he doesn’t know anything. Over time though, he begins to accept where he is (the Glade) and that the people in the Glade have nothing but each other. Thomas also adapts to the Glade’s slang, and talks like a Glader.

Thomas talks to the other Gladers like someone would talk to their friends or family, and Thomas does his best to help protect the Gladers. Thomas is hard and cold to the people from WICKED, as at the end one of their workers kills Chuck, one of Thomas’s

The terrifying nature of freedom causes individuals to assimilate into society out of fear. Societies thus take advantage of this by oppressing individuals to maintain stability. In George Orwell’s 1984, which is based on a rundown city called Oceania, the proles always accept everything that the party tells them without any questions. They let the government completely control their lives without hesitation. The Maze Runner by James Dashner also exhibits oppressive environments and individuals who accept these societies. In the Maze Runner, the people in the maze are all trapped in a maze, limiting where they can go and what they can do. Both 1984 and The Maze Runner exhibit the oppressive nature of society and how accepting to be controlled
