I process the information slowly, piece by piece. You have, in other words, the appearance of a Divergent without actually being one." Initiates try to get the fastest time possible. Emotional: The remaining initiates need to face their fears in a simulation using the Dauntless serum. 4 members are eliminated after this round. Physical: initiates have to fight each other and learn to use guns and knives with accuracy. Your genes are still damaged, but you have a genetic anomaly that allows you to be aware during simulations anyway. The initiation process consists of three stages. "It means," Matthew says, "that you are not Divergent. My throat is dry, and I feel like I've been given bad news, but I still haven't entirely grasped what that bad news is. "As you can see, he has the right genetic components for simulation awareness, but he doesn't have the same 'healed' genes that Tris does." "This is the map of Tobias's genes," Matthew says. He touches the screen again, and the screen changes, but it remains just as confusing, a web of lines, tangled threads of numbers. He's still "genetically damaged", though he can withstand simulations like Divergents. No, he's not "totally" Divergent like Tris. Is Four a divergent and if so, is it revealed anywhere in the movie, subtle or otherwise? Is he capable of escaping the test as Tris is, but chooses to endure it for the show or what? But, his own fear test makes me think otherwise. Later when Dauntless is taken over and all of the members are under mind control, it's revealed that Four is pretending, he is very much immune to the mind control as Tris is (or maybe he didn't get injected?).īased on these facts, I assume Four is also a divergent.

We see later on that his back tattoo consists of all of the faction symbols because, "he doesn't want to just be one thing". "Dauntless don't break the glass like that." But he doesn't do anything about it. When Tris joins Dauntless, she meets Four who seems to be very careful, calculating and in control.ĭuring the fear test, he figures out that Tris is a divergent because she can beat the test unlike any he has seen before. In Divergent (2014), we learn what a divergent is and that they are rare. When she discovers a plot to destroy Divergents, Tris and the mysterious Four must find out what makes Divergents dangerous before its too late.
