"If you want to throw me in jail for trying to save someone's life, then go ahead. Next time I promise I'll point at them and laugh, then go eat some of Frypan's dinner.” The Maze Runner (Book)
The novel’s protagonist, Thomas is a teenaged boy who enters the Glade with no memories other than of his first name. Although Thomas comes to the Glade scared and confused, he shows himself to be brave, resourceful, and strong-willed when he saves the lives of the Gladers Alby and Minho.
Thomas’s bravery in his quest to become a Runner stems from a compulsion rather than from a basis of lucid reasoning. His bravery temporarily falters when he sees a Griever through a window in the wall.
He wants to be a Runner because it'll help solve the Maze; he wants the girl to wake up and explain things because it'll help solve the Maze; he wants Frypan to make him some gall-dang lunch because it'll help him solve the Maze.
