Divergent Theme- Kwan

There are many possible themes in Divergent, one possible theme is related to identity; People have different qualities in life that can differ from where they used to belong in the past. in Divergent, some people belong in one fraction, but later changed from where they were born in, some stayed where they started out their life. Tris who was the main character, moved from Abnegation, but later moved to Dauntless; her mother moved from Dauntless to Abnegation. In Divergent, there is also a test called the aptitude test to check and see where you should belong. These aptitude test does not mean that you have to choose what the results are, it is there to tell you what choices mach you. Tris’s results was that she is divergent, different from where she just belonged to Abnegation, now she belongs to more than one fraction but not fully into each possible fraction. Tris is also one who’s one quality supports another. Tris says that she is most selfless during the acts of bravery. For others who found themselves from the test, they may be hiding some qualities that others don’t know about. Caleb, Tris’s brother found himself in Erudite, Tris didn’t even know about that quality that Caleb had in him. From all these things from Divergent, it supports the theme how a person’s identity can change from where they used to belong.
