Divergent

Divergent I Need help quick?!?!

In Chapter 26, Tris tells Four/Tobias that she left Abnegation because she was not selfless enough. He disputes this? Why do you think he disagrees? What about Tris' behavior seems to suggest that her "divergence" is somehow a problem for the view that each person has a single or dominant personality type? How would you define divergence given the type of character Tris has developed into throughout the narrative? Think about the doubts that Tris experiences in Chapter 29 concerning her faction choice of Dauntless rather than Abnegation. Could Tris just as easily fit in all the factions as in none of them? Why or why not? Again, what might this say about divergence as a phenomenon?

He tells Tris his theory that selflessness and bravery aren't very different, and Tris admits that she left Abnegation because she wasn't selfless enough. But he reminds her of the times she's shown selflessness - when she stood in front of the knife target for Al, or her interference in his fear landscape. She chides him for paying so much attention to her, and he admits that he likes her.
