How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
"Don't call us subjects. We're not mice trying to find the cheese. And tell your shuck friends to calm down—I wasn't gonna hurt you. Much." (10.28)
One cause of the Gladers' extreme hatred of WICKED is that WICKED has actually dehumanized the kids. Calling kids "subjects" to their faces is a great way to build up some nice ill will in those kids.
Quote #2
"Wouldn't you hate the healthy?"
"Probably," Thomas said, glad he was on the immune side of things. (20.29)
Thomas is at first confused about why people would hate Immunes. Brenda explains: if you were infected with the Flare, wouldn't you have at least a little hatred for people who were immune to it? Wouldn't you feel a bit ticked off that you weren't born that way, too?
Quote #3
When it came down to it, Chuck was the most vivid reason that he despised WICKED. (20.45)
This quote speaks for itself: even if the Maze—and even the Scorch Trials—made some sense on some level, the act of killing Chuck to obtain a mere brain pattern causes Thomas to have an eternal hatred for WICKED.
