The Maze Runner Conflict and Resolution


Authors Note:I wrote this essay on the main conflict on the main conflict in the book ''The Maze Runner'' and how it gets resolved.

In the book '' The Maze Runner'' there are a ton of conflicts. Some of the little conflicts include children's memories getting erased and not knowing how they got to the mysterious village which everyone lives in. Overall the main conflict is the fact that all of the children are basically trapped in their village. There is a big wall that opens everyday. On other side of the wall is the maze.There are runners that will go out into the maze to see if they can find an exit to the real world. This is really hard considering the maze changes its shape everyday.This is a person versus person problem. This is the maze children versus the makers of the maze. The conflict is similar to one of the conflicts in "The Mocking Jay". In the Mocking Jay the people in district 13 have to hide from the rest of the public just like the children in "The Maze Runner.

The conflict gets resolved when they find the exit to the real world located in the maze. The conflict that cannot be fixed is the fact that all of their memories have been erased. Some of the kids try and get stung be the mystical creatures in the maze due to the fact that it will give you flashbacks of your past. Thomas , the main character, discovers something horrible from his past in this process. Although the main conflict had been solved by escaping the maze, this doesn't mean there aren't going to be worse problems in the future.
