Theo James as Four and Shailene Woodley as Tris strike up a bond in Divergent.
Move over Hunger Games, here comes Divergent. Appealing to the same audience as the Hunger Games and the Twilight saga, Divergent, based on the first book of a trilogy, takes us into a futuristic world where people are divided into separate worlds.
With the aid of a personality test, emerging
adults are given the choice of five factions to join - Erudite (smart and logical), Amity (kind and peaceful), Candor (honest), Dauntless (fearless protectors of the nation) and Abnegation (selfless).
It was believed that the war that nearly destroyed Earth would not be repeated if people mixed with their own kind.
Beatrice Prior (Shailene Woodley) comes from an Abnegation family but is disturbed to find her personality test shows no clear pattern, meaning she is a Divergent.
Divergents are feared by all factions as they have traits of all personalities and are seen as a threat to peace and harmony because they can think outside the square.
