main characters
Thomas
Thomas is a former Glader and one of the creators of The Maze along with Teresa Agnes.In The Maze Runner, a 16 year old boy named Thomas wakes up in a lift with no memory except for his name. When the lift opens he is surrounded by other kids who also have no memory except their names. This place is called the Glade. The glade is surrounded by a maze with stone walls. Every morning, the doors to the maze open, every night they close. The gladers do not want to be stuck in the maze when the walls close, or they could be stung by hideous monsters called Grievers. In the middle of the book, the gladers lose protection because the walls stop closing. They must find a way out quickly. Thomas and Teresa eventually figure out a code to the maze. Thomas gets stung purposely by Grievers so he can remember his life before the maze. He learns that there is only one escape. Through the Griever hole. The Gladers make it through the Griever hole, losing half of their number, including Alby. They are greeted by someone who works for WICKED and Gally. Gally takes a knife and throws it at Thomas, but Chuck bravely takes the hit by jumping in front of Thomas. Thomas feels guilty because he had promised Chuck to get him out of the maze safely. Then a rescue team comes in and seemingly kill the WICKED member, rescuing the gladers.
