Beatrice is this average height, skinny, sixteen year old, white girl. Throughout the book, it is shown that she is strong willed and doesn’t like to show weakness. Contrary to being born into the Abnegation Faction, she always had some selfishness inside her, which caused her to constantly be scolded by her older brother. She was born to Natalie and Andrew Prior, and she has an older brother named Caleb, whose shadow she always stood in, because of his acts of selflessness. The Abnegation Faction focuses on the virtue of selflessness, and they live to help/serve others, such as the “Factionless”. They reject the life of vanity and greed. One of their rules is to not look in mirrors when passing one. Beatrice had always liked the thought of these values, but never could use them herself. In the “Aptitude Test” to see what faction Beatrice belongs to, she has to choose between a knife and cheese, but she questions the situation and two more scenarios, which leads her to finding out she’s a “Divergent”, meaning she thinks differently and can’t conform to the social norms. Being a Divergent, she has to keep it secret, which also puts her life in danger. Later at the Choosing Ceremony, she surprises her family by choosing “Dauntless”, the faction of bravery.

In order to not become Factionless, she needs to show she is improving and can make it as a part of Dauntless. The newbies start having fighting matches, and whoever wins moves up on the stat board. Tris loses her first match, moving her down the board, but then she beats a high-ranking opponent, moving her back up. After winning top rank in stage, some jealous members attempt to kill her by throwing her into a chasm, but Four intervenes. In the final stage, it is shown that the Erudites are using Dauntless to attack Abnegation. They use a serum to control everyone in Dauntless, causing them to attack whoever they are told
Tris changes from being unsure and weak to a strong, brave, and determined in the book, Divergent. In the beginning of the story, Tris thinks she is not selfless enough to be in Abnegation. She is even more confused as her aptitude test determines she is divergent, a person who has more than one personality type who is suited for more than one faction. As she transfers to Dauntless, Tris realizes that she is at a disadvantage in Stage One, which involved physical activity. She is short and scrawny, and she doesn’t excel in an of the exercises alongside losing the fights. This threatens her chance of passing initiation. As a result of this sudden change, Tris misses her caring family. However, Tris doesn’t mourn and drown in self-pity. Instead,
Hero and Claudio represent the Elizabethan norm in marriage. Claudio is the shrewd, hardheaded fortune hunter and Hero is the modest maiden of conduct books and marriage manuals, a docile young woman. It is important to note that Claudio is more concerned with advancement in Don Pedro's army than he is with love. Therefore, Shakespeare illustrates to the reader through the near tragedy of mistaken identity that Claudio must learn that marriage is more than a business arrangement and become worthy of Hero's love and affection.

It you are Divergent the serum doesn’t work on you. Tris has to be very careful to act just like the others so no dauntless trainer notices. All of the dauntless initiates are made to kill the Abnegation. Abnegation is Tris’s born faction. She has trouble making the choice to shot them. One of Tris’s biggest fears is killing her family; Abnegation. This is showed in the book as “I can’t wage wage war against Abnegation, against my family. I would rather die. My fear landscape proved that. My list of options narrows, and I see the path I must take. I will pretend long enough to get the Abnegation sector of the city. I will save my family. And whatever happens after that doesn’t matter.” The author wrote this part to show that Tris truly cares about her family. She will do whatever it takes to make sure her family is safe. An initie Will was running towards Tris with his gun pointed to her. Tris has to make a choice and she needs to make one fast. Victoria writes “In an instant, I see his finger poised over the trigger and hear the bullet slide into the chamber, and I fire. My eyes squeezed shut. Can’t breath.” This shows that Tris wasn’t sure what to do and her first move was to shot him. If she wouldn’t have made that decision then she would risk her life by Will killing her. Will was under the serum and was to kill anyone he saw or whoever he was directed to

In William Shakespeare's short play Much Ado About Nothing, he focuses on the social standings and the roles of women in 16th Century Europe. The female protagonist of the play, Beatrice, understands the restrictions placed upon her by society and how these restrictions should limit her as a woman, but she inexorably escapes them by refusing to succumb to the unifying hand of marriage. Throughout the play, Shakespeare displays his profound respect for woman as independent individuals who are fully capable of making their own decisions and suffering their own consequences. Through the plot, he proposes the idea that women who deviate away from the passivity that society expects them to perform attain a more active role in the determination of their future. Contrary to the roles of women of the 16th Century, Shakespeare depiction of Beatrice's independence is symbolic of his stance on the progression and transformation of women's reputation in society.
