The book "The Maze Runner" takes place mostly in the Glade and the Maze surrounds it. The Glade is a big, enclosed region surrounded by stone walls that rise high into the sky.

It contains a variety of structures and locations such as the Homestead, the Blood House, and the Gardens, where the Gladers l both live and work.

The Maze is filled with dangers including the monstrous Grievers that roam its corridors at night.

This isolated and constrained environment heightens the protagonist's sense of claustrophobia and despair throughout the novel

The novel is narrated from a third-person limited perspective, focusing primarily on Thomas's experiences and ideas. Thomas is characterized as curious, brave, and resourceful. He is determined to uncover the truth about the Maze and his role within it, often putting himself in danger to do so. His internal conflict arises from his fragmented memories and the doubt that he had any role in the creation of the Maze. Readers can relate to Thomas's journey on a personal level since the narrator sheds light on his feelings and choices.

Examples:

Despite the risks, Thomas has an overwhelming desire to become a Runner early on in the narrative. He stands out from the rest because of his will to accept the most hazardous job, which represents his readiness to defy social rules and his ambition to actively solve the Maze: "For an extended while, nobody spoke. If not for those walls, Thomas realized he could never call any location home." (Chapter 5)

Thomas shows courage and fast thinking when he dashes into the Maze to save Alby and Minho, and he soon comes up with a plan to keep them safe from the Grievers: "Thomas's mind churned, trying to come up with a plan." Although he was terrified of the animals pursuing him, his survival was his top priority." (Chapter 18).

This captures the general sense of horror that exists within the Glade and the Maze. It draws attention to the terrible reality that the Gladers must deal with daily and stresses the value of bravery in the face of horror.
