Divergent Characters: Beatrice
My character Beatrice has changed quite a bit in the past few chapters I have read. In the book she has to choose which faction she will be in since she has taken the test already. It is between to options for her the Dauntless and the Abnegation, she keeps pondering both options, both lives...so different from one another. At first she has the personality of a Abnegation (the faction she was born into) she helps out at the house cares about others and not herself; But then she has the personality of a Dauntless being daring, asking questions at the dinner table when she is not supposed to unless her parents ask her to. Her undecisiveness propells the plot along very much because it keeps you wanting to read wanting to know what will she choose? Like when she thinks to herself "It will require a great act of selflessness to choose Abnegation, or a great act of courage to choose Dauntless, and maybe just choosing one over the other will prove that I belong. Tomorrow these two qualities will struggle within me, and only one can win" (Roth 37). Beatrice goes from being this modest girl who doesn't speak her mind and when she does gets glares because she is not supposed to, to being a girl who speaks her mind to others and does things she never would have dreamed of. She stops caring about everyone else and starts caring about herself which I think she enjoys but at the same its very dangerous in her current faction. So do you think she will change factions or stay in the same faction for her parents sake?
