The Death Cure Theme of Memory

All around me are familiar faces...

Because he was stung by a Griever and went through the Changing, Thomas experiences quick flashbacks of what his life was like before he had his memory Swiped. At first you'd think, Huh, great idea; maybe he'll understand more. But as Thomas dreams more and more about the past in The Death Cure, it only seems to confuse him even further. Maybe being completely in the dark is better for our protagonist?

Questions About Memory

  1. What do Thomas's memory-dreams say about the past? About his past?
  2. Why don't Thomas and some other Gladers want their memories back?
  3. Teresa is constantly shown to be on Thomas's side in his memories, so why does he keep distrusting her?
