Author Veronica Roth was still in college when she sold the story of a dystopian Chicago and a girl finding her place in a world that tried to tell her who she was. Roth penned a trilogy that wove together civil war, heartbreak, and questions of identity into the wildly popular Divergent series. Divergent has a massive fanbase and an ongoing three-movie adaptation starring Shailene Woodley as hero Beatrice "Tris" Prior.
The second of these films, Insurgent , came out in theaters on Friday, March Insurgent is a book written by Veronica Roth. The movie based on the book is directed by Robert Schwentke. It's the second installment in the young-adult, sci-fi dystopian Divergent trilogy, which is made up of Divergent , Insurgent, and Allegiant.
The first two books have been adapted into films, while the third will see its cinematic version hit theaters in The trilogy was Roth's first major work as an author, and Divergent was her debut novel. Roth also released a collection of short stories from the perspective of a secondary character titled Four: A Divergent Collection.
All three books take place in a futuristic version of Chicago in the aftermath of an unspecified cataclysm. Divergent is a series about a society divided among assigned factions and and a girl who doesn't fit into any of them. The moral force of the books lies in the constant reminder that you should always, under all circumstances, make decisions for yourself, rather than letting society dictate these decisions to you.
The five factions are based on personality, virtue, and strength. Each group possesses certain qualities they mutually value and excel at.
The factions are called Abnegation selfless , Erudite intellectual , Dauntless brave , Candor honest , and Amity peaceful. Beatrice, the main character, was born into Abnegation, but she's far from selfless. Strong-willed and hard-headed, when she receives the results of her aptitude test, she learns that she is "divergent," meaning she doesn't fit into any one clan.
Instead, Beatrice fits into three: Abnegation, Erudite, and Dauntless. The world Beatrice lives in isn't an easy one. After receiving the results of the aptitude test, a divergent person can choose to stay in the faction they were born into or test into a more fitting faction. If they fail the test, though, they become "factionless" and are forced to live in poverty.
In the first book, Tris leaves Abnegation in order to take the test to become Dauntless. The Dauntless instructor is an older, attractive boy called Four. Beatrice gains her "Tris" name while engaged in these Dauntless initiation tests. Four is a troubled boy whose father abused him and who has unexpectedly found himself in the middle of a war among the factions. Throughout Tris's initiation, the two become closer and closer, revealing Four's character and his past.
The world or, actually, just Chicago is run by the Erudite clan and its fearless leader, Jeanine. The Erudites want to ruin Abnegation by using a serum to basically brainwash those in Dauntless.
Please take a hot second to note that these are the three clans that Tris tested into. By the end of the first book, Tris has lost a family member, almost died, and is on her way to safety. In the books that follow, her collision course with Jeanine causes the conflict to grow. Divergent was released so soon after Suzanne Collins' immensely popular Hunger Games series that it's almost impossible not to compare the two series.
Both series aimed to corner the young-adult market that had made Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series such a success.
The fact that Divergent and The Hunger Games both are set in futuristic dystopias only drives further comparisons. Yet the similarities extend beyond setting and genre, too. Both series feature stubborn, female teenage protagonists living in divided societies scarred by long civil wars. Still, it's unfair to classify Divergent a s a knock-off of The Hunger Games.
Roth finished writing the books right around the time the first Hunger Games novel was released. Executions at gunpoint and frequently threatened suicide add to the cheery atmosphere. The way of many YA adaptations is to make the first film cheaply and then, once its popularity has been proven, boost the production value in subsequent sequels. The result is a bigger, glossier and better made action film with less embarrassing fight choreography. But any appeal still depends entirely on the talent of its cast.
