Production[edit]
Development[edit]
In March 2011, Summit Entertainment picked up the rights from for Divergent with Douglas Wick and Lucy Fisher's production company Red Wagon Entertainment.[8] Neil Burger was announced as the director on August 23, 2012.[9] Evan Daugherty, who co-wrote the screenplay with Vanessa Taylor, said, "I get hung up on the toughness of the movie but of equal importance is the love story between Tris and Four. It's inherently and inextricably linked to Tris' character journey. There will be plenty of sexual tension and chemistry, but it's important that all of that stuff doesn't just feel like it's thrown in, but that it all helps Tris grow as a character."[10] Daugherty further added, "It's tricky because the book is a very packed read with a lot of big ideas. So, distilling that into a cool, faithful two-hour movie is challenging. Not only do you have to establish five factions, but you have to acknowledge that there's a sixth entity, which is the divergent, and you also have the factionless. So there's a world that really has to be built out for the big screen… the movie is going to do it a little more efficiently."[11] Author Veronica Roth said about the script of the film: "Reading a script is a really interesting experience. I'd never read a script before. I was really impressed by how closely it stuck to the general plot line of the book."[12]
Initially budget of the film was $40 million but later Lionsgate increased it to $80 million due to the success of The Hunger Games. Analyst Ben Mogil said, "Divergent is more similar to Hunger Games in that the company owns the underlying economics (i.e. production) and the budget (at $80mn) is more manageable."[2]
Casting[edit]
On October 22, 2012 it was announced that Shailene Woodley had landed the lead role of Tris Prior.[13] Lucas Till, Jack Reynor, Jeremy Irvine, Alex Pettyfer, Brenton Thwaites, Alexander Ludwig and Luke Bracey were all considered for the role of Tobias "Four" Eaton.[14][15] On March 15, 2013, it was announced that Theo James had been cast as Four.[16]
Though James was 10 years older than the character when cast, Roth praised his casting "I was sure within seconds: this was 'Four', no question. Theo is able to capture 'Four's' authority and strength, as well as his depth and sensitivity." She also mentions the chemistry between him and Shailene: "He is a perfect match for Shailene's incredibly strong presence as Tris. I'm thrilled!"[17] The producers said about his casting: "We took our time to find the right actor to fill the role of Four, and Theo is definitely the perfect fit. Veronica has crafted a truly iconic character in Four and we cannot wait to begin production and bring him and this story to life for millions of fans around the world."[16]
Ray Stevenson, Jai Courtney and Aaron Eckhart were announced to be in talks to join the cast on March 15, 2013,[18] Stevenson and Courtney joined the cast as Marcus Eaton and Eric, respectively.[19] Kate Winslet was announced to be in talks on January 24, 2013.[20] Later it was confirmed that she would portray Jeanine Matthews.[21] Talking about playing the negative character for the first time, Winslet said, "I'm no idiot. The idea went through my head that I have never played a baddie before, I was almost kind of surprised." Since Winslet joined the filming late, she used that distance from her co-stars to appear aloof on the first day of her shoot. "I wanted to break it and say, 'It's OK, I'm really fun. I promise.' But I thought, just for today, I'd let them think that I am a complete bitch."[22]
Filming[edit]



 The Ferris wheel scene in Divergent was filmed at Navy Pier.
Filming began in Chicago in April 2013 and concluded on July 16, 2013.[23][24][25] Virtually all production photography took place in Chicago; many of the interior locations were filmed at Cinespace Chicago Film Studios.[26] Scenes for the "choosing ceremony" were shot at 17th Church of Christ, Scientist, Chicago on East Wacker in downtown Chicago.[27] Filming also took place at the Navy Pier Ferris Wheel; the entire area was treated with dirt and rust to appear more dystopian.[28] Additional scenes were shot at 57th Street and Ellis Avenue near University of Chicago,[29] at Federal Street where fake EL tracks were constructed[30] and at Michigan Avenue.[31]
For the Abnegation sector, the production team constructed the set on Wells Street in downtown Chicago.[32] In late June, filming took place at 1500 S Western Avenue and 600 S. Wells Street, Chicago.[33] In the last schedule, filming moved to the Chicago River and continued at Lake Street Bridge, Wacker Drive and LaSalle Street Bridge.[34] Filming wrapped on July 16, 2013,[35] However on January 24, 2014 what is believed to be additional filming took place in Los Angeles and finished on January 26, 2014 which became officially the last day of shooting.[35]
Post-production[edit]
Post-production work began after filming wrapped.[36] On July 18, Summit and Lionsgate issued a joint statement announcing the film will be released in IMAX format: "We're delighted to continue our successful collaboration with IMAX, with whom we have already partnered on the global blockbuster Hunger Games and Twilight Saga franchises, and we're especially pleased that we can introduce our newest young adult franchise, Divergent, to the movie going public in the premium IMAX format that celebrates its status as a special and memorable event."[37]

Insurgent (2012)
Divergent is the debut novel of American author Veronica Roth and is the first installment in the Divergent trilogy. It is set within a dystopian version of Chicago. The novel has been compared to similar young adult books such as The Hunger Games and The Maze Runner because of its similar theme and target audience. Roth has said that the idea for the series was born while she was studying in college. Its major plot device, the division of society into personality types, is similar to Philip K. Dick's 1964 novel, Clans of the Alphane Moon and Rupert Thomson's Divided Kingdom.
Summit Entertainment purchased the media rights to the book, and production on the movie took place in 2013, also titled Divergent.[1] The second novel in the trilogy, Insurgent, was published on May 1, 2012, and the third and final book, Allegiant, on October 22, 2013.

Plot[edit]
This story takes place in the city of Chicago in the near future. The city is divided into 5 factions: Abnegation, meant for the selfless; Amity, meant for the peaceful; Candor, meant for the honest; Dauntless, meant for the brave; and Erudite, meant for the knowledgeable. On a given day each year, all sixteen-year-olds take an aptitude test that will tell them for which faction they are best suited. After receiving the results of their test, they must decide whether to remain with their family or transfer to a new faction.
Sixteen-year-old Beatrice Prior was born into an Abnegation family, but selflessness has never come naturally to her like it does to her brother, Caleb. She feels lonely and constricted by her environment and feels like she does not belong. When the time comes for Beatrice to take her aptitude test, the results are inconclusive: instead of fitting neatly into any one faction, she shows equal aptitude for three: Abnegation, Erudite, and Dauntless. This makes her "Divergent" and she is warned never to share this information with anyone for fear of her life. Even for a Divergent, it is very rare to have results with three factions. On her way home from the aptitude test, she encounters a factionless man who grabs her hand and frightens her. This makes her feel very nervous because she does not want to end up like him and is worried about risking her normal lifestyle and failing. She does not want to upset her father, who is certain that she will remain in Abnegation even though she is skeptical.
On Choosing Day, much to her and her parents's surprise, Beatrice makes the decision to leave Abnegation and join Dauntless, while her brother Caleb chooses Erudite. She immediately leaves to join her new faction and her new home. Beatrice, who renames herself Tris when she reaches the Dauntless compound, becomes good friends with fellow transfer initiates Christina, Al, and Will. Another transfer initiate, Peter, quickly sets out to antagonize her as he does not believe Tris is good enough to be in Dauntless. Peter also has two friends, Drew and Molly, who back him up as he tortures Tris. She is also introduced to their instructor, Four, who explains that they must pass an initiation process before they are accepted as full-fledged Dauntless members. They must rank in the top ten at the end of initiation, or else they will be dismissed and become factionless.
Initiation is broken into three stages. The first involves learning how to handle guns and knives as well as engaging in hand-to-hand combat. Despite being physically weaker than most of her fellow initiates, Tris finishes the stage in sixth place. Peter is jealous and intimidated by the first-place finisher, Edward, and retaliates by stabbing Edward in the eye with a butter knife. Tris is ranked just after Molly, which can be attributed to the time when Tris came into the dormitory with only a towel and Peter pulled it off, exposing and tormenting her. Tris hopes that she can fight Peter, but instead she fights Molly, one of Peter's cronies, quickly trouncing her. Although she nearly beats Molly to death, Tris continues to fight because of her anger towards her tormentors.
Meanwhile, the Erudite stirs up dissent among the factions by releasing antagonizing reports about the Abnegation leaders, who run the city government. Peter and his cronies, Molly and Drew, give Tris a hard time because she came from Abnegation. The Erudite's reports called Abnegation's leader, Marcus, abusive because they thought he was abusing his son, Tobias. Tobias was known as a "traitor" to Abnegation because he transferred from Abnegation to Dauntless. The reports also say that Tris and Caleb's mother and father raised them the wrong way because they both switched factions, the Abnegation wasted the city's food by giving it to the factionless, and quoted Molly saying that Tris talks in her sleep, telling her father to stop. Tris begins to befriend the Dauntless-born initiates, including Uriah, Lynn, and Marlene.
Stage two puts the initiates into simulations, much like during the aptitude tests, in which they will encounter various fears—or scenarios symbolic of their fears—and are tested by how quickly they are able to calm down. Because Tris is Divergent, she is able to recognize that she is under a simulation while others do not, and she can even manipulate the system. After monitoring Tris's results, Four realizes she is Divergent. Tris is again warned never to allow anyone to know that she is Divergent, because those who are found to be Divergent end up being killed by faction leaders. At the end of the stage, Tris ranks first among the initiates. That evening, out of jealousy and resentment, Peter, Drew, and Al attack Tris and try to throw her into the chasm at Dauntless headquarters. However, Four steps in and rescues her. Al begs Tris's forgiveness, but she rebuffs him, leading him to commit suicide by jumping into the chasm.
The initiates prepare for the final stage of their initiation, the fear landscape, a gathering of all of their fears in a single simulation. In the fear landscape, all of them, Divergent or not, will be aware that they are under a simulation and must use the skills they learned in the previous stages to break out of each fear. They will be scored according to how many fears they have and the amount of time it takes them to get through the simulation. Tris's relationship with Four continues to grow, and he lets her into his own fear landscape. Tris learns that Four only has four fears in his landscape, a record, hence his nickname. She also learns his real name, Tobias, and that his father is Marcus, the very Abnegation leader who has been accused of having physically abused him during his childhood. Four later shares with Tris information he has discovered about the Erudite's plans to use the Dauntless to stage an attack on the Abnegation.
Tris goes into her fear landscape for her final initiation test, in which she encounters a total of seven fears: getting eaten alive by crows, drowning while trapped in a glass tank, drowning in the ocean, being burned at the stake by Peter, being kidnapped by assailants, having sex with Four (thinking that he only wants her because of her body), and being forced to shoot her own family. After her test, Tris, along with all other Dauntless members, is injected with a new "tracking" serum that is supposedly only activated if someone goes missing. Before the official initiation ceremony, Four invites Tris back to his private apartment, and Tris expresses her feelings for him. Soon, the ceremony begins, the final rankings are posted, and Tris discovers she has been ranked first. In the midst of celebrating, though, she suddenly realizes that the Erudite will use the "tracking" serum to force Dauntless members to carry out their merciless plans of invading the Abnegation.
The plan is carried out that night; the serum induces a simulation and all of the Dauntless become sleep-walking soldiers, hypnotized into marching into Abnegation territory. However, the serum does not work on Tris or Tobias (Four) because they are both Divergent. After arriving at the Abnegation compound alongside their unwitting Dauntless brethren, they try to break away from the pack to escape. However, Tris is shot, and when Tobias refuses to leave her behind, they are captured and brought before Jeanine, the Erudite leader. She injects Four with an experimental serum, which counteracts the Divergent effect by controlling what he can see and hear. Satisfied with the results, Jeanine directs Tobias to be sent back to the Dauntless control room to oversee the attack, and sentences Tris to death. Tris wakes up sealed inside a real-life glass tank that fills up with water, but her mother, originally a transfer from Dauntless into Abnegation, breaks the tank and rescues her. As they escape, Mrs. Prior reveals that she is also Divergent, but shortly thereafter is shot and killed, while creating a diversion to ensure Tris can escape. Tris does so, but not before being forced to kill Will, who attacks her while under the influence of the Erudite simulation.
She finds her father, Caleb, and Marcus in the safe house indicated by her mother, and they resolve to take a train back to the Dauntless compound to find the source of the simulation. Fighting their way through the upper levels of the Dauntless headquarters, Tris' father also sacrifices himself, to clear the way for Tris to reach the control room and confront the mind-controlled Tobias. He attacks Tris, but she manages to grab hold of a gun and aims it at Tobias. Yet, when she realizes she cannot bring herself to kill him, Tris surrenders, and this allows Tobias to break through the special sight-and-sound-only simulation. Once he comes to his senses, the two shut down the Erudite simulation and free the remaining Dauntless from their mind control. They rejoin Caleb and Marcus, as well as Peter, who had helped Tris find the control room in exchange for his safety. The group then boards a train to the Amity sector to find the rest of the Abnegation survivors, leading to the events Insurgent describes.

Style and themes[edit]
Divergent is described as having a fast pace by many reviewers. Nolan, from The American Prospect, noted that Divergent follows patterns that are present in both The Hunger Games and Blood Red Road.[2]
The New York Times stated that Divergent "explores a more common adolescent anxiety--the painful realization that coming into one's own sometimes means leaving family behind, both ideologically and physically".[3] The Voice of Youth Advocates agrees, writing that Divergent shows the pressure of "having to choose between following in your parents' footsteps or doing something new".[4]
Reception[edit]
Divergent has been well received. In a review in The New York Times, Susan Dominus wrote that it was "rich in plot and imaginative details", but also that, compared to other such books in the same genre as the Hunger Games trilogy, it did "not exactly distinguish itself".[5] In a review for Entertainment Weekly, Breia Brissey said that it was "flimsier and less nuanced" than The Hunger Games but was good, giving it a B+ rating.[6] Kirkus Reviews said it was "built with careful details and intriguing scope".[7] Common Sense Media commented on the book's "deep messages about identity and controlling societies" and on the "unstoppable plot that's remarkably original". It was rated 5 out of 5 stars and given an age 12+ rating.[8]
The book debuted at #6 on the New York Times Children's Chapter Books Best Seller list on May 22, 2011,[9] and remained on the list for 11 weeks.[10] It also spent 39 weeks on the Times's Children's Paperback Books Best Seller list in 2012,[11] reaching number one.[12] The Times changed its Children's Best Seller lists in December, 2012,[13] eliminating the Children's Paperback list, and Divergent continued its run on the new Young Adult Best Seller list.[14] It is still on the list as of February, 2013.[15] To date, book sales are now over 5 million copies for both novels combined, and both titles are HarperCollins most successful e-books ever in regards to sales.[16]
Awards and nominations[edit]
Divergent won Favorite book of 2011 in 2011's Goodreads Choice Awards.[17][18] Also, Divergent was number one in the Teens' Top Ten Vote, sponsored by YALSA.[19] It also won the Sakura Medal Contest.
Film adaptation[edit]

Summit Entertainment bought the rights to film an adaptation of the novel and recruited Neil Burger to direct, with Shailene Woodley starring as Beatrice "Tris" Prior. Lionsgate and its subsidiary Summit Entertainment were slated to distribute the film.

Themes[edit]
Some of the major themes covered in the book include rebellion, romance, bravery, courage, friendship, betrayal, and heroism.[2][3][4]
The background to the story, revealed in the first novel of the trilogy, explains how Chicago in the near future is divided into 5 factions: Abnegation, meant to uphold selflessness; Amity, meant for the peaceful; Candor, meant for the honest; Dauntless, meant for the brave; and Erudite, intended for the knowledgeable. The story's protagonist, Tris, tested with equal aptitude for three: Abnegation, Erudite, and Dauntless. This makes her "Divergent" and she is warned never to share this information with anyone for fear of her life. Those who are Divergent, and those who are simply not strong enough in their particular faction, are deemed factionless.
Plot synopsis[edit]
Tris, Four, Caleb, Peter, and Marcus travel to Amity, where several surviving Abnegation are settled in. Amity issues a statement that all factions may seek refuge there as long as they reside in peace. Tris overhears Marcus confessing to the Amity speaker, Johanna, that Abnegation's leaders died to protect a secret. Tris later confronts Marcus, but he refuses to reveal anything.
Erudite and Dauntless traitors soon arrive at Amity to search for the Abnegation. During their search of the compound, Four's tattoos give the group away, and a gunfight begins. During this, an Erudite woman aims at Peter and Tris unintentionally saves his life. Tris, Four, Caleb, and Susan manage to escape and jump onto an oncoming train. The train car is full of armed factionless, including former Dauntless initiate Edward, who escort them to a factionless safe zone. Tris is surprised to learn that the factionless are numerous and have established a society in which the people seem happy and taken care of. The group is led to the factionless leader, Four's mother Evelyn, who was previously thought to be dead. That evening, Tris overhears a conversation between Four and Evelyn, during which Evelyn tells Four that he needs to convince the Dauntless to join the factionless. During this encounter, Evelyn threatens Tris, telling her that she is "permanent" in Four's life and that Tris is only "temporary". The warning only makes Tris' wariness of Evelyn even worse. Caleb and Susan move to a safe zone where more Abnegation are living, while Tris and Four travel to Candor headquarters.
Upon reaching Candor, Tris and Four are arrested and subjected to a truth serum trial. During the trial, Four admits that he joined Dauntless to escape his father's abuse, and Tris admits her guilt in shooting Will. This angers Four and Christina, who were unaware that Tris was Will's killer. The Candor are attacked by Dauntless traitors led by Eric; many people are shot with a new simulation serum. Tris and Uriah, who is revealed to be Divergent, figure out what is happening and try to warn the remaining Divergent, but they are all captured by Eric. He plans, as instructed by Jeanine, to take two of the Divergent back to Erudite headquarters and execute the rest. As Tris injures Eric, the Dauntless burst into the room and take control. They figure out that the new serum allows Jeanine to subject the victims to simulations from great distances and that it won't wear off, giving the Erudite much greater control over the group. Following the attack, Candor leader Jack arranges a meeting with the Erudite, secretly observed by Tris, Four, Lynn, and Shauna. The Erudite, represented by Dauntless traitor Max, demand that Candor turn over Eric, the Divergent, and a list of those who did not receive the new serum injection. Tris figures out that Jeanine is controlling Max via earpiece and must be close by, but before she can act, Lynn shoots Max in the chest from her secret location. Tris, Four, Lynn, and Shauna run to escape the Dauntless traitors but run into Jeanine and her guards, one of whom is Peter, who allows them to escape. As they run away, Shauna is shot in the back and paralyzed.
Back at Candor, Four confronts Tris, telling her that she is being reckless with her life, and that they are finished if she continues to act as such. The Dauntless hold a secret meeting, and Four, Tori, and Harrison are elected as new leaders. They then put Eric on trial for his crimes. He is convicted, and Eric demands that Four kill him, which he does with no guilt. The Dauntless return to their headquarters, and Tris and Four meet with Evelyn and Edward. While Tris and Four are leaving for the meeting, Four tells her that one of his fears in his fear landscape changed; instead of having to shoot a woman, he has to watch Tris die. Four makes an agreement with the factionless to destroy the Erudite and establish a new government. However, Tris doesn't trust Evelyn, who she feels abandoned Four to his father's abuse.
That night, Christina and Tris discover a simulation that causes Dauntless members to step off the roof every two days unless a Divergent is given to the Erudite. They save a young girl and Lynn's brother, Hector, but Marlene plunges to her death. Tris is again overcome by grief and guilt. She flees the funeral ceremony, but Christina finds her and forgives her for what happened with Will, understanding that simulations make a person completely controlled by Jeanine. Tris later finds her way to Four's room, intent on sacrificing herself to Erudite. He begs her to reconsider, and she agrees, but leaves for Erudite at midnight while he sleeps.
Tris walks into Erudite headquarters, terrified but accepting of her fate. She agrees to Jeanine's testing as long as the results are explained to her; she is then subjected to an MRI and several simulations. She sees Caleb, who is now working for Jeanine, and is shocked at his betrayal. One evening, Tris encounters Four in the hallway, and discovers that he tried to save her. They are taken to the execution chamber, where Jeanine injects Tris with a terror-inducing drug so that Four will give up the locations of the factionless safe houses. Despite all her efforts, Jeanine cannot find a simulation to control Tris, and when Jeanine loses her temper, the two have an altercation. She then declares that Tris will die the next day. However, Peter, who is meant to be her executioner, helps her, to repay his debt of her saving his life, and Four escape from Erudite instead.
The three travel to the Abnegation sector of the city, where the factionless and Dauntless have gathered. Four leads Tris to his own house after Evelyn kicks Marcus out, and they admit their love for each other. Having been greatly affected by her near-death experience, Tris meanders around her old neighborhood. She bumps into Marcus, who convinces Tris that her parents died to save the information that Jeanine stole. He insists this information must be made public before the Dauntless/factionless army destroy all data in their attack. Under disguise, Tris, Christina, and Marcus infiltrate Amity to update Johanna and ask for her help. She holds a meeting to inform the rest of Amity, and after the decision is reached to remain impartial, Johanna and several others choose to leave the faction. Tris and Christina speak with the Erudite refugees living in Amity, including Will's sister Cara, who agrees to help with the mission to save the information that was stolen and transmit it to all factions.
Travelling back to the city, Tris leads a group disguised as Erudite to infiltrate the faction headquarters. Once they get in, Cara begins connecting the computers to transmit the data to other factions. After an encounter with Caleb, Tris and Marcus realize the data won't be on the main computer. Tris, Marcus, and Christina head up to Jeanine's private laboratory, after Tris remembers what Tori mentioned about security. On the way, the group runs into Edward. After a fight that disables Edward and Christina, Tris and Marcus reach an intersection. They split up, going into two different doorways. Tris enters a simulation that forces her to fight herself. Realizing she is more desperate than her simulation counterpart, she forces the simulation to give her a gun, and, facing her guilt over Will, she shoots and kills her simulation-self. When she walks into the laboratory, she finds Tori screaming at Jeanine to acknowledge her brother, a Divergent, who was killed on Jeanine's command. Tris disarms Tori, and after a struggle, she attempts to explain that she wants Tori not to kill Jeanine so that they can obtain the information from her computer. Tori refuses and stabs Jeanine in the stomach, killing her.
Tori calls Tris a traitor and attempts to have her taken into custody, while Four confronts her about aligning with Marcus. Uriah escorts Tris downstairs, and as they reach the holding area for the surviving Erudite, Candor, and Dauntless, they find an injured Lynn, and comfort her as she dies. Evelyn announces the institution of a new factionless government and society. The Dauntless begin to protest but find themselves powerless, as their weapons have been taken by the factionless. Caleb, Marcus, and Four then enter the room, and Four talks to Tris. They kiss and reconcile, and Tris hopes all the secrets between them are gone for good. Screens in the room begin to play the information retrieved by Four and Caleb: an old video featuring a woman named Amanda Ritter, who later takes the identity of Edith Prior, from an organization fighting for justice and peace. Amanda explains that the world had become corrupt and the faction system was established as the cure to this corruption, as a way to help society regain the moral sense it had lost. The city was sealed away from the rest of the world, but when those identified as Divergent had increased in numbers, the Amity are to open the fence forever and the population should re-enter the world. As the video ends, the room erupts into voices.
Characters[edit]
Beatrice Prior - (Tris) narrative is from her point of view. She was born Abnegation but chose Dauntless at the Choosing Ceremony when she was 16. She explains her choosing by stating that she felt she was too selfish for Abnegation and wanted to be free. Being Divergent, she is able to control and escape simulations. Tris has an aptitude for 3 factions—Dauntless, Erudite and Abnegation—meaning that her Divergence is stronger than most and practically unheard of. She is in a relationship with Tobias Eaton, also known as Four, her former initiation instructor, and they are in love. Her Divergence influences many aspects of her life, as she often exhibits selflessness, bravery and intelligence. Characterized as slight in stature, she is short and skinnier than she would like, but she gains muscle because of the fighting during training and in the war. She has blonde hair and blue eyes. She has a tattoo of three ravens on her collar bone, representing her family, and also has the symbols of Abnegation and Dauntless on either side of her shoulders. Sister of Caleb Prior. Their parents were Andrew and Natalie Prior, who died to save her life. She scored the second lowest number of fears (six) during her fear landscape, right next to Tobias, who has four.
Tobias Eaton - (Four) is in a committed relationship with Tris. He finished his initiation class in first place, which earned him the choice job position, but he refused to become political, choosing to operate the computerized security center at Dauntless. He is nicknamed Four because his fear landscape showed he only has four fears, the lowest amount ever. His fear landscape also revealed that his father, Marcus, was abusive to him, and several of his fears stem from this violence and abuse. Four admits to choosing Dauntless only to escape his father's cruelty, which is seen as a cowardly choice. Marcus was close to Tris's parents, but Four never accompanied him to dinner when they were invited over. That is why he and Tris didn't remember each other. However, when Tris's mom, Natalie, came to visit her on visiting day, he looked familiar. Tris also remembered Tobias from his mother's funeral, which the reader learns was a farce. He is muscular and tall, dark hair with sapphire-blue eyes. He has all of the faction symbols tattooed on his back, along with Dauntless flames along his side.
Caleb Prior - Tris' brother. He often exhibits his Erudite nature with excessive inquisitiveness. Caleb learns from Jeanine about the content of the important information stolen from Abnegation. He chooses to oppose Tris in order to further the Erudite agenda of control by simulation. He is tall with dark hair and green eyes.
Marcus Eaton - an important Abnegation leader. As revealed in Four's fear landscape, he was abusive to his son privately, while maintaining a pristine public image of service and caring leadership. Four characterizes him as manipulative and despises him. He claims that the Erudite had Abnegation attacked to obtain some important information and prevent it from becoming public. He was very close to Tris's parents, this being because Tris's father, Andrew, was also an Abnegation leader.
Jeanine Matthews - the leader of the Erudite, chosen based on her high IQ. She is the developer of the simulation serum and main antagonist. One of her primary goals is to neutralize the threat posed by the Divergent's ability to crack simulations. She obtained the important information from Abnegation during the attack and has kept it hidden on her private computer. She has also taken a special interest in Caleb. She was killed by Tori in revenge for the murder of her brother.
Johanna Reyes - spokeswoman for Amity, which does not elect a leader. She is described as pretty but with a terrible scar running down her face.
Jack Kang - leader at Candor who administers the Truth Serum.
Christina - Tris' close friend. Christina returned to Candor after the attack on Abnegation. She was in a relationship with Will before he was killed, and she suffers from grief at his loss. Christina becomes friends with Will's sister Cara, who offers words of comfort and encouragement. She is very blunt and honest. She is dark skinned with dark hair.
Will - Tris' friend. They met when they were training for Dauntless initiation, and he teased Tris about her gun-shooting skills. He was under the control of the simulation when he attempted to shoot Tris during the attack on Abnegation. Tris, instead, killed him. She is deeply sorrowful about his death at her hand. He had shaggy-blond hair with light green eyes, a crease often showing between his eyes. Will was Christina's partner before his unfortunate death.
Uriah, Lynn, and Marlene - Dauntless-born in the same initiation class as Tris. Uriah is revealed to be Divergent. Marlene is always smiling and cheerful, an upbeat person. She and Uriah are in a relationship, but Marlene is killed after being controlled by a simulation to jump off a roof. Lynn initially did not like Tris, but the two become friendly. Lynn gets shot and dies during the raid on the Erudite yet right before she died she told Uriah that she also loved Marlene, yet not as a friend, hinting that she might be a lesbian.
Zeke and Shauna - friends of Four. Zeke is Uriah's brother, and he acted as a Dauntless-traitor spy until he turned up at Candor with a wounded Tori in tow. Shauna is Lynn's sister, and she is shot in the back when Tris' party pursues Jeanine Matthews after the secret meeting between Max and Jack. Shauna becomes paralyzed from below the waist and requires the use of a wheelchair. She and Zeke are in a relationship.
Tori and Harrison - chosen as leaders along with Four. Harrison is characterized as being older. Tori is an artist at the Dauntless tattoo shop. She ran Tris' simulation before the Choosing Ceremony and warned her to keep her Divergence a secret. Tori's brother was killed because he was found to be Divergent, and Tori wants revenge. She acted as a spy with Zeke in the Erudite compound and discovered that Jeanine's lab was heavily protected. Tori gets her revenge on Jeanine by killing her in the Erudite compound.
Max - a corrupt Dauntless leader who allied with Erudite to destroy Abnegation. He wanted Four to work with him, but he settled for Eric. Gets shot by Lynn during the story.
Eric - Four's nemesis. Eric finished second in the same initiation class as Four. He is threatened by Four and antagonizes him. He is working for Max and Jeanine. He has greasy long hair and several facial piercings. He is shot by Four at his execution.
Peter - is Tris' main enemy. He is from Candor, and Christina tells Tris that he is always rude and not cut out for Candor; saying that he would beat other kids but, blame it on them when the adults came. Tris says he has "very shiny dark hair". He picks on her by calling her a "Stiff" (slang for Abnegation) and harassing her physically. The reason he hurts her is because Tris has proven stronger than he expected, prompting jealousy. Whenever people are stronger than Peter, he is jealous. A good example is in the first book "Divergent" when Edward was ranked highest, Peter stabbed him in the eye with a butter knife to take him out of the running. His hope was to make him leave the faction and his plan was successful. One of Tris' fears in her fear landscape is Peter burning her on the stake. Peter surrenders to her and her group at the end of Divergent after Tris shoots him in the arm and they set off on the train together, with Caleb, Tobias, and Marcus. Peter is muscular and tall with shiny dark hair and dark green eyes.
Evelyn (Eaton) Johnson - Four's mother and leader of the Factionless. She had an affair while married to Marcus and, allegedly, was told to leave Abnegation. Four is initially angry over her abandonment but knows that she was abused by his father. Later he feels that she was unfairly treated. Tris doesn't trust Evelyn.
Andrew Prior - Tris and Calebs' deceased father. Natalie's deceased husband. Former Abnegation leader. Was Erudite but transferred to Abnegation. Marcus's deceased friend. Dies during the attack in "Divergent".
Natalie Prior - Tris and Calebs' deceased mother. Andrew's deceased wife. Was former Dauntless but chose Abnegation to be safe because she was Divergent. Dies protecting Tris.
Edith Prior - She is assumed to be related to Tris, as she bears the last name of Prior. Was originally known as Amanda Ritter before forsaking her life to become part of the new faction-based society.
Setting[edit]
The setting takes place in a dystopian Chicago in the far future, where Lake Michigan has turned into a giant marsh. The Candor compound surrounds a ruined Merchandise Mart. The Amity live on farms, located outside a fence that surrounds the city (and keeps the other factions in); their central meeting area is a building with a great tree in the center. The Dauntless compound is the combination of a glass building and an deep cave underneath it, nicknamed "The Pit." The Abnegation sector is a cookie-cutter neighborhood, where "everything looks alike." The Erudite compound is in a futuristic part of the city, including the former site of Grant Park (a sculpture resembling the famous "Cloud Gate" is mentioned in Divergent,) and the buildings are very advanced.[5][6][7]
Critical reception[edit]
Trade publication Publisher Weekly received the novel enthusiastically: "Roth knows how to write. So even though this second book of the trilogy that began with Divergent feels like a necessary bridge between the haunting story she created in book one and the hinted-at chaos of book three, readers will be quick to forgive. . . The author has a subtle way of pulling readers into a scene (“The outside air.... smells green, the way a leaf does when you tear it in half”), and the novel’s love story, intricate plot, and unforgettable setting work in concert to deliver a novel that will rivet fans of the first book."[8] Kirkus Reviews said "The unrelenting suspense piles pursuit upon betrayal upon torture upon pitched battles; the violence is graphic, grisly and shockingly indiscriminate. The climactic reveal, hinting at the secret origins of their society, is neither surprising nor particularly plausible, but the frenzied response makes for another spectacular cliffhanger."[9] Roth has admitted a number of continuity errors in Insurgent, an aftereffect of overlapping novel drafts.[10]
Awards and nominations[edit]
Insurgent won Favorite Young Adult Fantasy & Science Fiction and Author of 2012 in 2012's Goodreads Choice Awards.[11] It was also nominated at Children's Choice Book Awards for Teen book of the year and Author of the year.[12]

Theme[edit]
The background to the story, revealed in the first novel of the trilogy, explains how Chicago in the near future is divided into 5 factions: Abnegation, meant to uphold selflessness; Amity, meant for the peaceful; Candor, meant for the honest; Dauntless, meant for the brave; and Erudite, intended for the knowledgeable. The story's protagonist, Tris, tested with equal aptitude for three: Abnegation, Erudite, and Dauntless. This makes her "Divergent" and she is warned never to share this information with anyone for fear of her life. Those who are Divergent, and those who are simply not strong enough in their particular faction, are deemed factionless.
Plot[edit]
Tris Prior is shocked by the video released to the public at the end of the raid on Erudite headquarters. The video, released by Tobias Eaton, revealed the truth about the faction system and announced that the Divergent are needed outside the borders of the city. Factionless leader Evelyn Johnson appoints herself leader of the city. She begins forcing people to operate under her command and live as factionless citizens. Tension between the factionless and former faction members escalates, culminating in a deadly fight over the bowls used at the faction Choosing Ceremony. Tris questions Evelyn's motives and is kidnapped by the Allegiant - a rebel group determined to escape the city and reinstate their old way of life - who invite her to a meeting the following night. Meanwhile, Tris' brother Caleb is put on trial for his assistance under former Erudite leader Jeanine Matthews. Caleb's betrayal, still fresh in her mind, prevents Tris from completely reconciling with her brother, the only family she has left. On her way to the Allegiant meeting, Tobias informed Tris that Caleb was sentenced as a traitor and is to be executed in two weeks. The Allegiant, led by Cara and Johanna, tell her and the others at the meeting that they are planning to send a group outside the city to find out the truth about their existence and way of life. Tris volunteers to go on one condition: that Caleb is taken with them. Tobias and Zeke break Caleb out of his holding cell before they leave. Tobias, Tris, Christina, Cara, Uriah, Tori, Peter, and Caleb escape the city, during which Tori is killed. After a period of driving through the unknown, they are met by a woman named Zoe and Tobias' former initiate instructor, Amar, who was supposedly killed for being Divergent. Zoe and Amar take the group to the Bureau of Genetic Welfare, where they meet George, Tori's brother who was also a Divergent thought to be dead. Here, Tris and her friends learn the truth about their society: several generations ago, the government believed that society's problems resulted from people's bad genes. In an attempt to create a better society, they began to correct people's genes with disastrous results. To rectify its mistake, the government set up 'experiments', establishing isolated cities across the remains of the United States in the hopes of raising enough genetically pure (Divergent) individuals to fix the 'genetic damage' left in the wake of the Purity War.
Tris and Tobias, being two of the only Divergent who arrived, are tested by Matthew and Nita to verify and study their Divergence. While Tris is shown to be truly Divergent, Tobias' genetic structure indicates that his genes are still 'damaged'. Tobias is angered by this news and begins to believe that he is a damaged human being. Matthew then brings Tris to the leader of the Bureau, David, to find out the truth about her mother. Sympathizing with her longing, David gives Tris her mother's journal. Meanwhile, Tobias is secretly asked to join a rebellion, led by Nita, who is also genetically damaged. She tells him that the Bureau is lying when they say genetic damage is the cause of society's problems. She intends to demonstrate that the genetically pure are flawed as well. Tobias tells Tris about the plan, going against Nita's warning to keep it secret. Tris is skeptical about Nita's intentions, but Tobias accuses her of being jealous of Nita and agrees to help.
Shortly afterwards, Nita and her cohorts attack the compound, severely injuring Uriah in one of the explosions. Tris is able to save David and stop the attack, and Nita is thrown in prison for her crime. Tobias begs Tris to forgive him for his mistake and failing to protect Uriah, but Tris scolds him before storming away. Tris is offered a position on the Bureau's council and is informed of the events taking place within the city, including the Allegiant's preparations for war with Evelyn and the factionless. David is desperate to stop the violence and maintain the experiment and his life's work at the expense of destroying the personalities of everyone in the city. He decides to use the memory serum to wipe the memories of the people within the city, allowing the experiment to begin with a clean slate. Tris also learns that the Bureau created the serums that led to the destruction of Abnegation and the enslaving of the Dauntless. Repulsed by the Bureau's actions and David's decision, Tris reconciles with Tobias. With her friends, she begins to devise a plan to save her city and fix the Bureau's flawed ideals. The group decides to break into the Weapons Lab and use the memory serum to wipe the memories of the Bureau to prevent any further discrimination and twisted thinking based on 'genetic damage'. The Lab, however, is guarded by a fatal dose of the death serum, rendering it a suicide mission. Caleb volunteers for the role, and tearfully asks Tris if it will make her forgive him for everything he has done, to which Tris says yes. At the same time the memory serum is to be released, Tobias, Christina, Peter, and Amar plan to go into the city to inoculate their loved ones against the serum and tie up loose ends.
Christina is able to retrieve doses of the inoculation serum that will counteract the memory serum and instructs the group to inject themselves with it. Tobias notices that Peter only pretends to inject himself with the inoculation serum. Christina gives an extra vial of the memory serum to Tobias, for use against either Marcus (his dad) or Evelyn (his mom) in the hopes of bringing an end to the conflict in the city. Tobias decides to confront Evelyn. Taking Peter and the vial of memory serum, Tobias meets with his mother and gives her the option of drinking it, which will allow her to end the fighting, be born anew, and become his mother again. She embraces Tobias without taking the serum. They meet with Johanna and Marcus to iron out an end to the conflict. On the way out of Erudite headquarters, Peter laments about his bad behavior and violent tendencies which he knows will never change, and elects to take the memory serum to become a new person and forget his wrongdoings. Tobias gives Peter the serum, erasing his psyche for good.
At the Bureau, Caleb is ready to sacrifice himself, but he and Tris, who accompanied him, are ambushed by Bureau guards. Tris pulls her gun on Caleb and decides to carry out the mission instead of allowing Caleb to do so, knowing that Caleb volunteered out of guilt for his actions rather than out of love for Tris. She hopes that her resistance to serums will include the Death variant. However, since she does not know if she will survive, Tris tells Caleb that if she does not return, he is to tell Tobias she did not want to leave him.
Tris destroys the entrance to the Lab and is exposed to the death serum, but she survives. David reveals himself within the Lab and explains that her collusion with the genetically damaged did not go unnoticed. Determined to keep the order and remain steadfast to his beliefs, David shoots Tris, who lunges for the memory serum and releases it. After being shot by David, she sees her mother reach out for her and gladly accepts her embrace, succumbing to her wounds. Tris dies. Tobias, Peter, and Christina return to the compound and are informed of Tris' fate by Cara. Tobias is overcome with grief, sadness, and emptiness in the wake of Tris' death. Caleb gives him Tris' final message. Tobias is angered by the fact that Tris died for Caleb even after his betrayal. Before walking away, Caleb only replies that Tris loved him. Uriah is taken off life support - a decision made by Zeke and his mother - with Tobias still believing that Uriah's death was partially his fault. Tobias returns to his home in the old Abnegation sector and contemplates drinking the memory serum, but is interrupted by Christina, who reminds him of how Tris would have disapproved of Tobias letting go of the person she fell in love with. Acknowledging the need to move on, Tobias and Christina walk back together.
Two and a half years later, Chicago is finally at peace, with former faction members, factionless, compound members, and other outsiders moving in and out of the city. On what would have been Choosing Day, Tobias releases Tris' ashes as he overcomes his fear of heights and rides the zip line - a feat performed by Tris during her time as a Dauntless initiate. His memories of Tris and his love for her still linger, but Tobias accepts all that he has been through and reflects on his belief that while life damages everyone, people can still be healed.
Background[edit]
Development[edit]
On July 18, at the San Diego Comic-Con panel for Divergent Roth revealed that Allegiant is from both Tris and Four’s point of view.[7] Talking about this, she said that "I tried repeatedly to write Allegiant in just Tris’s voice, but it didn’t work; her perspective, her way of seeing things, was a little too limited for the story I needed to tell, I wanted to do two things with it: A. let two characters experience different things, and B. let them react differently to the same things, so that I (and eventually, the reader) would get a better sense of the whole story, the whole picture.”[6]
She further said that "I’ve said before that I’ve always seen Four (increasingly, as the series goes on) as a plot-mover alongside Tris, so he was the obvious choice for the second POV (though not the only one I tried). Exploring him and his choices and his assumptions about the world was incredibly interesting to me."[6]
Title[edit]
Talking about the title of the book, Roth said that she never wanted it to rhyme with Divergent and Insurgent and said that "I did not go through other ideas. It was always [Allegiant]", which she defined as "One who is loyal or faithful to a particular cause or person."[8]
Cover art[edit]
The cover contains the image of O'Hare International Airport of Chicago,[9] which implies that the story will take the protagonist much further than the city and its surrounding area.[7]
The World of Divergent: The Path to Allegiant[edit]
Main article: The World of Divergent: The Path to Allegiant
The book includes 10 teasers as well as 8 different quotes from the different chapters of the Allegiant. Entertainment Weekly magazine released a quote from the chapter seven of Allegiant by Tris featured in The World of Divergent: The Path to Allegiant on August 29, 2013 .[10]
Critical reception[edit]
In a review for Entertainment Weekly, Hillary Busis gave the novel B+ and wrote that the novel was "If you've already been sucked into Roth's world, you'll appreciate the book's twisty plot — which provides needed context for the series' prefabricated society — and its chastely torrid Tris/Tobias love scenes."[11] Publisher Weekly said in its review that "The alternating perspectives are bothersome at times, due to the similarity between Tris and Tobias’s first-person narratives. However, for those who have faithfully followed these five factions, and especially the Dauntless duo who stole hearts two books ago, this final installment will capture and hold attention until the divisive final battle has been waged." [12]
Film adaptation[edit]
On December 16, 2013, Summit Entertainment announced that the film adaptation of Allegiant would be released on March 18, 2016.[13]
