TagDivergent

“Divergent” by Veronica Roth is set in a dystopian future where society is divided into five factions, each representing a different virtue: Abnegation (selflessness), Amity (peacefulness), Candor (honesty), Dauntless (bravery), and Erudite (intelligence). The story follows Beatrice “Tris” Prior, who discovers she is Divergent, meaning she doesn’t fit neatly into any one faction. Tris chooses to join Dauntless at the Choosing Ceremony, where initiates undergo rigorous training to prove their worthiness. As Tris navigates the challenges of initiation, she uncovers a sinister plot by the Erudite faction to overthrow the government and seize control. Tris must confront her own fears and embrace her Divergence to protect herself and those she loves. The novel explores themes of identity, conformity, and the consequences of living in a society that demands you fit into a specific mold.
