Characters

1) The character I enjoyed the most was the main character Tobias Eaton. Tobias is the son of Marcus and Evelyn Eaton.

Although during his well prepped aptitude test he got an abnegation result he instead chose Dauntless as his faction at the Choosing Ceremony in order to escape his father. I enjoyed Tobias the most because he is quite a smart and skillful character and also helps Beatris Prior, the co-main character in several ways such as helping save her life when she was discovered to be divergent. Tobias was a very brave and smart character and this was displayed in the novel when he was helping save Tris. Tris was an outstanding recruit, impressively completing all initiations at very rare pace. “You got out three times faster than any of the other initiates. Whatever you are, you’re not a failure. You might be Divergent. I think.” (Roth, 204) After the tests, Tobias quickly picks up on Tris’s talent and realises that she is divergent. He then helps Tris in training to think like a regular dauntless to prepare for the final test so the other members
Tobias does this by using his bravery and intelligence. he snuck Tris into the test room and ran over several practice runs of the test showing her the exact moves to make and ways to think in order to deceive the other members in thinking she is a regular Dauntless
