Louis Divergent Theme Paragraph

You guys might have heard about the main topic that Divergent is focusing on throughout the whole book, which is identity, adventure, fear, Dystopian Society, and many more but you might not know the true moral that is deep in the book. The main theme that you can easily find throughout the book is that “You can be defined more than 1 way and you’re allowed to have more than 1 path.” Tris was struggling throughout some parts of the book trying to fit and find a path of her true identity, but she can’t since she’s a divergent and even she chose to become Dauntless the path of Abnegation never fades away. The true meaning of divergent is to be able to do more than 2 things effectively that will cost you to be different than others. Divergences are capable of showing more than 1 characteristic such as Candor, Amity, Selfless, Intelligence and Dauntless. Throughout the ending of the introduction of the book, Tris is trying to think about her decision of changing factions or following the same faction, Abnegation. The main problem that struggles there is actually that she can’t finds an identity or faction to follow. Because she’s a divergent, that’s why she actually fits more than one faction and that’s not allow. You can see from the book that she’s finding that she also had Abnegation in her blood. Since her family’s faction is Abnegation but she just joined Dauntless. "I feel like someone breathed new air into my lungs. I am not Abnegation. I am not Dauntless. I am Divergent." Page 442. Therefore, this theme of “The Divergent” is valid because Tris can be defined than one way, since she’s a divergent and you can have more than 1 path of identity but in “The Divergent” people are only allowed to be in one faction that regulates only connected characteristics. Overall, the people in the community of the book “The Divergent” only allowed to be in one faction, therefore the divergents and people who believed in many different identities needed to fight for the rights of the factions system. However, in real life, people should be holding on more than one identity because different identities teach us and show us many different things so people who only have one identity can be consider as narrow minded. Being identified more than 1 characteristic proves that you are holding on into many different identities and creates yourself.
