The Changing View Of Thomas In The Maze Runner

When thinking from a perspective, the audience often focuses on the basics, such as a small part relating to the movie, when there is so much more depth and understanding that comes from it. In The Maze Runner, directed by Wes Ball, the audience's perspective changed when the main character, Thomas, does a very outrageous act to prove himself, which results in a completely different ending than most assumed. Thomas's actions were significant to the movie's turning point that changed how the viewer's outlook on Thomas, forcing the audience to look outside of The Maze Runners' original plot and identify attitudes that modified Thomas's true intentions. Thomas was once a nobody, fearful of the new location he was brought to, but towards the end

One moment that influenced the point of view of Thomas differently was his choice to run into the maze. For some background, the maze was something people would not mess with. It was super scary; it changed in cycles constantly, it was crawling with monsters, and whoever entered at night would not make it out alive. Because of all of this, people were simply scared to be close to the doors. Outside looking in, no doubt anyone would want to go in there; it is a death wish. But Thomas did not care; he spirited in to save someone he had just met, hoping to prove himself and show everyone he could on their level or even higher. This moment changed the audience's perspective by noticing that he is not the weak kid everyone viewed him as. It allowed the viewers to see that Thomas had some balls and was willing to do what most people would not. Before this event, Thomas was, once again, viewed as a new kid that is frail and did not fit in. But after running in and showing all the people of the maze that he is worthy of being there, he deserves to be treated like everyone else no matter the time of day. Regardless of the movie, the viewers realize that Thomas is much more than others portray him to be. They used him as a stereotype and underestimated the power he had. His brave actions got him to where he is now, with the spectators viewing him as a now strong leader compared

But when everyone thought all failed, Thomas stepped up once again. He gathered a group of survivors together, and they ran for hours through the maze. Until they escaped, they were finally free, no walls to live behind, just fresh air and natural grass to relax in. Thomas stepping up in that moment of despair changed the audience's perspective on him. When the audience feels that Thomas has done enough to help, he becomes the bigger person and leads several people to safety. This plot twist initiated the audience's final perspective on Thomas. They saw him as brave and categorized him as the leader he hoped to be. Without the doors not closing, Thomas would not have had his final breakthrough and shown his capabilities. The viewers adore him and want what is best; overall, he is a keeper and protector in their sights. Never forgotten and always
