The Maze Runner discussion

In your opinion who was the saddest death

I felt like it was chuck. After he died I just wanted to cry

For me personally, it was Newt.
However he was my favorite character from the start, so I kind of had more of a connection to him than Chuck or Winston or Alby etc.

Chuck I think.

Cant choose between chuck and newt was weird when teresa did....

Chuck was extremely sad, but the one that hit me hardest was Teresa. I don't think I have ever cried so much over a book before, I was an absolute mess.

The saddest death for me was chuck, then teresa cause even though she act like a b*tch in the scorch, it was for thomas safety. Newt's death i kind of expect him to die since the beginning of the book so didnt affect me that much.

Chuck but also newt I was about to cry when Thomas killed him I wanted him to leave until the end

Newt, no doubt about it. However, when Teresa died I was thrown a curve ball. I had always been suspicious of her up till the end, but when she died, I felt like I had been punched in the stomach.

Chuck...

Newt was totally the saddest. It was kinda expected though, since he's got the flare and all that. But during school, I was crying so much I had to go to the bathroom so I didn't embarrass myself. (Since I read that part at school)

I 100% think it was Newt's. I was fully prepared for him to be taken over by the Flare and eventually die. But the way he died, I was not prepared for that. Chuck's death was sad too, but Newt's was definitely more sad. And I felt like Teresa's death wasn't sad. WICKED had basically destroyed her. I think it was best that she did die, tbh.

*spoilers* Newt, of course. I mean, Thomas literally killed him. For a good reason, but that doesn't make it hurt less.

NEWT! ;( Chuck I was sad for, but I didn't get as attached to him as I did to Newt, since Chuck was only in 1 book. I was so ticked at Thomas for shooting him! Even though Newt asked him to do it, he still pulled the trigger! ;(

Ur so right about that. I just wanted to punch James Dashner. WHY COULDNT TERESA BE THE CRANK AND GO ALL MAD, WHILE NEWT DIED FIGHTING AND FOR A PURPOSE TO SAVE THE WORLD!!!!?????!!!!!!!!!!!!???????
Ugh!

Teresa"

The saddest death in the maze runner is Chuck. The saddest in the series, in my opinion, is Newt. I LOVED HIM!

Newt's death of course! Manly cause his felt the longest cause he was slowly dying. Plus the raw anger and misery in the end

Newt. He called him 'Tommy' before forcing Thomas to shoot him! That brought back memories of the Glade. I also happened to be in class when I read that particular part, and I had to try to hold in the tears (unsuccessfully)

Me too! I was in class, and I was just holding back the tears. My friend saw me upset and tried to comfort me, asked whats wrong, and I said " THIS WHOLE SHUCKING BOOK IS WRONG NEWT MADE 'TOMMY' SHOOT HIM IN THE HEAD WITH A GUN AND JUST UGH!" Then I just went to the bathroom and cried there.

I probably should have done that...I didn't think about going to the bathroom!

NEWT!!!! I literally fell in love with him, my heart sank when he died!

Newt"......:'(
My favourite character died and I cried.

It was Teresa and Newt

totally torn between Chuck and Newt:(( For me personally, I have never really liked Teresa maybe it's because i don't forgive people easily but yeah... Her death wasn't really that sad for me and it didn't redeem her betrayal so i stand by my options:)

How can you not like Teresa!?!? That's like hating chuck... That's like liking gale!!!!!!

I liked her in the beginning but I started to hate her in the second book, and my hatred just grew and grew. I felt like she was a bossy and stupid know-it-all, and I never forgave her. Teresa committed a lot of mistakes and I think its totally normal that some people hate her, and because of many of the things she did, she deserves to be hated. And its not like hating Chuck at all, because Teresa at some points was horrible, whereas Chuck was always as angel.

Only the good die young that's why chuck died young. I do see your point but I still liked Teresa.

teresa and chuck.

chuck because he was young and innocent and he was killed due to wicked and that makes me so mad

teresa because even though she did do wrong and thomas treated her like shit, when she died you could see how hurt thomas was and that effected me and i could see how he felt and it was really sad for me

Teresa, since I really wanted Thomas to forgive her in the end, but then she just died. Kinda hard to forgive someone after they're dead...

Okay. I found that Thomas had to get over what Teresa did and forgive her. No offence but he was being stuck-up, she did that to save him... He was just taking out all his stress on her

That's true. But Brenda did the same thing she was with WICKED and didn't do it to save him like Teresa did.

Touché.
I didn't like Brenda form the beginning

I didn't mind her i found Thomas to be a jerk to Teresa

Mmmmhmmmm

Mmmmmmm what?

I was agreeing with you! Hahah

Oh...

Chuck´s and Newt´s death were the saddest. However, I was prepared for Newt´s since he was ill. So, Chuck´s, because it was in the final caps. and I didn´t really expected, and because the way he died.

NEWT

I think the saddest death is Brenda's, in the fifth book. I really liked her :(

There's no 5th book. The maze runner. The scorch trails. The death cure and the kill order.

umm...there's no fifth book and brenda didnt die??!!?!?!

Wait... This guy is confusing me...

Ikr There's no 5th book!!!

Yeah. And Brenda doesn't die!!!

I know, but I bet you all skip a beat for a second there, right? XD

Ok, sorry. I was kidding.

My real answer is the same as most of you: Chuck and Newt. Maybe Newt's death is a little more fresh in my memory because it's been years since the first time I read the first book and the shock of Chuck's death is pretty much healed by now. But then again, I did see Newt's death coming almost from the start of the death cure. Still, the context of his death is... awfully sad.

Teresa's death didn't make me feel anything. Just like the kiss she gave Thomas right after betraying him.

Hahahaha. I knew Newt was going to die my friend told : ( so it wasn't as sad but it was still sad. :'(

Newt. Or maybe Chuck. But I'll go with Newt because i loved him so much :(
