(Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote 1
Abnegation and Dauntless are both broken, their members scattered. We are like the factionless now. I do not know what life will be like, separated from a faction—it feels disengaged, like a leaf divided from the tree that gives it sustenance. We are creatures of loss; we have left everything behind. I have no home, no path, and no certainty. I am no longer Tris, the selfless, or Tris, the brave.
I suppose that now, I must become more than either. (39.87-8)
The collapse of society sure sounds promising. And we're only kind of joking: notice how Tris spends a long paragraph describing how bad things are—two out of five factions seriously messed up, everything lost and left behind. But then Tris notes that she'll have to grow her identity even more than she already has. Society may be collapsing by the end of the book, but there still seems to be some hope in the individual and family and friends, right?
