Guilt and Regret Quotes in Allegiant

Tobias feels guilty for meeting up with Nita without telling Tris, so he does something crazy after meeting up with her (at least it's crazy by young adult-novel standards): he tells her about it. Honesty: a good way to cleanse your soul of guilt.

As if Tobias doesn't feel guilty enough about everything, he now feels guilty for basically being responsible for Uriah's death. This motivates him to go into the city and apologize to Uriah's parents, an act that means he's not nearby when Tris decides to sacrifice herself. If he hadn't felt guilty, would Tris have died?

Do you think Tobias is confusing grief with guilt over killing Uriah? We think he feels pretty guilty about it. Uriah didn't just die; he died because of Tobias's decision to ally with Nita.
