“Wicked is good,” said Ava Paige (Patricia Clarkson) in the film ‘The Maze Runner’. Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) frustrated and a curious teenager when brought into the maze soon decides to find more about it. Instantly when he arrives at the maze he runs away from the others and is called a runner by the other teenage boys. Chris Nashawaty from the entertainment website, says “Thomas quickly proves to be an invaluable addition to the tribe. He’s curious and brave and he doesn’t cower from the Glade’s bully. He’s such an asset, in fact, that he takes his place among the most heroic subgroup, the Runners. Thomas knows that the maze isn’t normal.

Not knowing where they are or not remembering anything from the outer world becomes a second nature to them and wonder what will happen. Ebiri Bilge says likewise, “O’Brien looks great when freaked out. That’s a real talent for a young actor.” O’Brien uses his fear or being scared and converts it into adrenalin when …show more content…
The very much used adrenalin is used multiple times to not give its audience much to think of but the movie. An example is when Thomas and Minho found a way out of the maze and the maze suddenly begins to chance in the middle of the day. They rush back to the glade and tell the others. Then the mazes doors don’t close at night but three more doors open. The grievers come into the glade and attack them killing many. O’Brien here while running away from the grievers shows his fear and adrenalin to make the audience feel frightened as they
