In the film there is a point where Sonya Song (Arnold Joseph's ex-girlfriend) asks Thomas if he wants lies or if he wants the truth. Thomas responds by saying "I want both." This is evidence of Thomas as a trickster character.
FALSO. Thomas isnt a tricky trickster, he just wants to know everything and hear both sides to every story! Because in the book he is always trying to be the mediator. like when chess and victor are fuding.
This is false. Thomas is not a trickster, he tells stories and likes to hear them. Hearing all the different sides gives him chance to make his stories more interesting.
In response to Jimmy Dean, You said that Thomas was a mediator. Our group thinks that Thomas isn't because he just wants peace. He doesn't solve problems, but he shoves them to the side. He wants Chess and Victor to not yell, not to agree on issues. We do agree that Thomas is not a trickster, though.
