What is the Divergent series about?

The Divergent series is a Young Adult science fiction series written by Veronica Roth. The story takes place in a dystopian society divided into five factions – Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent).

The citizens are defined by their social and personality-related affiliation in order to remove the threat of anyone exercising independent will. We follow Beatrice Prior (who changes her name to Tris).

She’s an Abnegation-born and Dauntless transfer and must figure out her life as a Divergent, while concealing her true nature, and living with the danger of being killed if it is discovered.

The Divergent series was adapted into a movie with Shailene Woodley starring as Beatrice “Tris” Prior and Theo James as Tobias “Four” Eaton.

The Lorien Legacies was adapted as a movie in 2011 starring Alex Pettyfer as Daniel/John Smith/Number Four and Teresa Palmer as Number Six. In August 2022, a new adaptation, this time as a Netflix TV Show, was announced to be in development.
