Tris, Tobias and Caleb jump onto a train entering the city and find themselves among the factionless, homeless people who failed to pass the initiation rites for any of the five factions. They escape through the cornfields, fleeing to the city of Chicago. In the confusion of the fight, Tobias, Tris and the Abnegation members split up and flee the Amity compound. Tris is unable to fire her own gun because of her traumatic memory of shooting Will, but Caleb commandeers her gun and protects her from the attacking Dauntless.
Tris, Tobias and all the refugee Abnegation members have to disguise themselves in order to blend in with the Amity, but Tobias is quickly discovered by an enemy-Dauntless guard. The Erudite arrive at the Amity compound, guarded by an escort of armed enemy-Dauntless. Tris continues to have nightmares about killing Will, but she is afraid to tell Tobias or anyone else about what she has done. Tris mentions that her father died back in Chicago, and Marcus confirms that Tris’ father died to protect the special information that the Abnegation have been guarding. Tris meets Marcus privately and asks him about the conversation she overheard between him and Johanna. Marcus suggests to Tris that she and Tobias escort the refugee Abnegation members, himself included, back to the city. Tris was immune to the dangerous computer simulation used by the Erudite to turn the Dauntless faction into mindless soldiers, which is why she was able to rescue Tobias when he was mind-controlled. Tris’ Divergent status also makes her react strangely to any computer simulations she is put into while most people in a brain-simulation scenario are unaware that they are seeing an altered reality, Tris always knows that she is in a simulation and can sometimes alter the simulation. Tris’ test administrator, Tori, warned Tris not to let anyone know that she was truly Divergent because her life might be in danger. When Tris went through the faction-placement computer simulation that all teenagers take, the simulation decided that she showed Erudite, Abnegation and Dauntless characteristics.
Tris and her brother, Caleb, have a conversation in which she explains to him why, although she chose to become a member of the Dauntless faction, she is actually a rare personality anomaly called a Divergent. Tobias suggests that he and Tris return to the inner city of Chicago and find a way to bring down the Erudite faction. Tobias believes that his father is exaggerating the importance of the information in order to seem more powerful than he really is. Tris wonders what sort of information could have prompted the Erudite to attack and kill members of the Abnegation. He does say that the Abnegation know some sensitive information and that Jeanine was attacking them because of this information. Marcus refuses to tell Johanna about Jeanine’s motivation.
Johanna is trying to figure out why Jeanine Matthews, the Erudite leader, began an attack on the Abnegation. That evening, Tris follows Johanna Reyes, the leader of Amity, as she goes for a walk with Tobias’ father, Marcus, a leader of Abnegation. Tris also realizes she is already breaking the Amity rules because she is hiding a gun under her mattress, after Tobias encouraged her to keep at least one weapon hidden when they entered the compound. Tris and Tobias are certain that they will not be able to stay long in the Amity compound because, as members of Dauntless, they are not good at avoiding confrontation. Amity members agree to let their headquarters be a safehouse for members of all factions, under the following conditions: No weapons are allowed in the Amity compound, no verbal or physical fights are permitted, and no discussions of the conflict between the factions are allowed. In addition to Tris and her group, many refugees from Abnegation have come to the Amity compound. When Tris wakes up, she, her boyfriend, Tobias, their acquaintance Peter (all from the Dauntless faction), Tris’ brother, Caleb, from the Erudite faction, and Tobias’ father, Marcus, from the Abnegation faction, are on a train that arrives at the Amity compound, where they are seeking refuge from the Erudite. Each is dedicated to the pursuit of one particular virtue: Amity prizes peacefulness Erudite prizes knowledge Dauntless prizes bravery Candor prizes truthfulness and Abnegation prizes selflessness.Īs the novel begins, Tris is having dreams of Will, the Dauntless boy she killed during the conflict at the end of the previous book, Divergent. Tris Prior is a 16-year-old girl living in a futuristic dystopian Chicago where all the people in the city have split into five factions: Amity, Erudite, Dauntless, Candor and Abnegation.
