Main Characters Summary of Divergent Tobias Eaton- Also called Four, because of his four fears. He is the instructor of the transfer initiates in the Dauntless compound. Beatrice Prior - The main protagonist and narrator of the divergent series. She is a strong-willed 16-year-old girl, who transferred to Dauntless. Setting Presentation By: Kaylyn Dunn Themes Beatrice Prior lives in a society that is divided into five factions. Candor (The honest), Abnegation (The selfless), Dauntless (The brave), Amity (The Peaceful), Erudite (The Intelligent.) On a particular day of every year, all the sixteen- year- olds have to pick a faction where they live the rest of there lives. Beatrice's decision is either to stay with her parents or be herself. She makes the decision that shocks everyone including herself. Be the Person you want to be- The second theme is be who you want to be. This is a theme, because throughout the whole book Tris has to figure out who she really wants to be and how to express herself without letting her secret out. Divergent Choices- The first theme is choices, because the tagline for this book is, "One Choice can Transform You." In Divergent the choice of your faction is one of the most important choices a person can make. Born August 19, 1988 The setting in the book Divergent is portrayed as a futuristic Chicago, because of the transportation and tall buildings. First off, let me just say this was one of my favorite books. The book was so exciting throughout the whole plot. I found myself reading and never wanting to put the book down. One of the main reasons I loved the book was, because the main character, (Beatrice Prior) was supposed to be the weakest initiate, but in the end she was the strongest and bravest. This is why I recommend that everyone should definitely read Divergent. A prominent item in the book Divergent is the hyperbole " ... my heart will burst out of my chest any minute now." This example of figurative language is on page 38. One scene I found very interesting was when Beatrice was in a stimulation to test her bravery. In the stimulation Tris found herself stuck in a box that was filling up with water and she needed to find a way out. Since Tris is divergent the first thing she did was bang and tap on the glass causing the glass to break. After breaking the glass, Tobias figures out she is Divergent.
