The book takes place in a place called the Glade, the
glade is located in the middle of a maze. Inside the
glade there are the Gardens, Bloodhouse,
Homestead, and the Deadheads. The Gardens are
where they grow the crops. The Bloodhouse is where

them. The Homestead is the main meeting house,
hospital, bathroom, rooms. The Deadheads are a
forested graveyard.

CHAPTER 6:
THEME
T
Theme
• The theme of this novel is Dystopia, a perfect (so to speak)
world that turns bad.
• The Glade was never a perfect world, but when Thomas came
to the maze, he caused terrible things to happen inside and
outside of the maze.
• A quote from the novel to prove the theme is; “As you all
know, the last few days have been bloody crazy, and a quite
bit centered around our Green bean, Tommy, seated before
us.” (p. 152).
• This quote was said by Alby after about a week after Thomas
came to the maze, and all the recent catastrophes were
caused by Thomas.
