After reading almost all of the series I have realized that the theme is that you should not judge something until you know both sides of the story. Thomas judged WICKED as evil because they tortured him and changed him after all of the tests they put him through, but he did not remember why he worked for WICKED in the first place. However at the end of the book he realized that the rebel association he joined was evil because when they raided the WICKED headquarters The Right Arm was willing the blow the whole place up, even with people inside. He then got a note from WICKED who wanted to save the immunes and make a stronghold. Once Thomas heard what WICKED's true meaning was, he could never look at them the same again.

Why The Maze Runner Was Written
The one question that Thomas keeps rethinking throughout the series is "Why did I join WICKED and make the testing facility, they seem evil"? He realizes this when he is put to the test that he help assemble. Not knowing any of his past except his name did not help much either. Late in the story line he joins a rival group that wants to take WICKED down and he realizes why he was in WICKED in the first place. From this information you can tell why this series was made and its theme and purpose.

This is really eye opening to me, I have always wanted to read a book like this, I hope I can pick this book up at my local book store and read it.
ReplyDeleteI think that your assesment of theme is accurate. It seems like these books, which seem superficial at first, have a deeper meaning, and are more than meets the eye.
ReplyDeleteThis books seems veruy interesting and action packed. I think that theme/lesson in this story is very important... "Dont jufge someone until you know both sides of the story." I tend to find myself contradicting this in my everyday life. I will definatellly check this book out and see if I like.
