Divergents are identified by their ability to pass different faction aptitude tests. For example, a Dauntless-born person who also passes the Amity test is considered a Divergent. Divergents are often ostracized and discriminated against, but they are also essential to society. Their unique perspectives allow them to see the world in new ways and come up with creative solutions to problems.
In the Divergent series, Tris Prior is a Divergent who must learn to navigate the dangerous world of faction politics while also staying true to herself. Tris's journey is a metaphor for the journey that many people must take in their own lives: a journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance.
Divergents are a reminder that it is okay to be different. We should not try to fit into a mold that we do not belong in. We should embrace our individuality and celebrate our differences.
