Harry Divergent Theme

In the book series “Divergent” the protagonist is Tris. She was originally from the faction Abnegation but transferred to Dauntless. As we know that she is different from others because she’s a divergent and throughout the story i found the theme. The theme is: Being different means that you’re special and you’re strong. This theme is often and constantly used in the book. The first time I have seen the book use this theme is when Tori and Tris both found out that she is a divergent. Example from the book: It’s my choice now, no matter what the test says. Abnegation. Dauntless. Erudite. Divergent. ~Tris p. 23. Tris is saying that she makes her own choices, whether it’s Abnegation, Dauntless, Erudite or Divergent no one can control her. That was also a clue to why she is a divergent. Another example was I am no longer Tris, the selfless, or Tris, the brave. I suppose that now, I must become more than either p 487. This quote shows that she does not belong to any factions, so she possess that power that no one has. As the book goes on, Tris gains experience and become stronger and stronger. However Tris meets four who changes they way she thinks about divergent. Now she knows she’s not the only one and she have someone who she can trust beside her. However because the leaders can't control divergent because they are different and stronger, the leaders will exterminate any divergent fearing that divergent's might break the factions balance. I think that in the next book we will see how Tris uses her experience to make a change in her society.
