5/26/2023 0 Comments The Maze Runner by James Dashner![]() Most of the Gladers believe that banishment as a punishment is necessary, because “all (they) care about is surviving”. The extreme savagery of this action and the fact that the boys all enjoyed watching Ben’s banishment proposes that the Glade is inhumane and brutal, but is concealed by pretend security and order. Ben’s banishment was obvious evidence that fear was used within the Glade to control the Gladers. The leader of the Gladers, Alby, maintains the order with fear, often death-threatening the boys, telling them that “if you ain’t scared, then you ain’t human”. Although the Glade’s laws and orders were made as an attempt to prevent violence and rebellions, cruel and overly violent punishments seemed to be a necessity that came with the peace. ![]() The Glade’s dark and systemized barbarity is vaguely concealed by order and stability. Dashner has constructed characters such as Alby to utilise fear for control, to signify the descent into savagery among the boys in the maze. ![]()
