The research aims to reveal how nature is presented, what kind of human attitude the characters demonstrate, and how the interconnection between nature and culture is depicted in The Maze Runner trilogy novel. To achieve the purpose, the researcher investigates five environmental aspects within the trilogy: the representation of nature, nature exploration, the interconnection of nature and culture, technology, and political impact on nature. By applying ecocritical approach and descriptive qualitative method, the analysis discovers a quite deep environmental value proposed by The Maze Runner trilogy that nature is represented through a metaphorical object of home; the characters then demonstrate a lack of human attitude towards nature viewed from their explorations on nature; and the interconnection between nature and culture is based on the examination of an inappropriate encounter between a desert and a city which leads to the absence of a boundary between the two interconnected concepts, and how a totalitarian government induces disrespect attitude towards nature by misusing advanced technology. Hopefully, this research is able to acquaint Ecocriticism as a compelling theory of literary criticism, and most importantly, contribute to the preservation of nature through academic way.
