Veronica Roth's Allegiant Essay

In Veronica Roth’s Allegiant, Tris, a teenager, learns that her life is an experiment. Tris and Tobias are lovers. While Tris’s parents are dead, Tobias’ are alive and currently battling against one another with groups of people. Tris’s only living family is her brother, Caleb. The city consists of five factions: Abnegation, Erudite, Amity, Candor, and Dauntless. Both Tris and Tobias once was Abnegation, but now the couple are Dauntless. The two join forces with the factionless to kill Jeanine Matthews, the past leader of the Erudite.
Soon after Jeanine Matthews murder, the Allegiant sends a message to Tris, calling her out to go to the Candor headquarters with her friends. Johanna and Cara end up being leaders of the Allegiant. They request for Tris and her friends to go outside the city to see what is beyond. While traveling across the border, a group of the factionless attack and end up killing Tori. After seeing Tori succumb to the ground, Tris’s mind warps from guilt. A bus picks up the group of friends, and taking them to the Bureau of Genetic Welfare. Amar, one of Tobias’ old friends, turns out to be alive.

Eventually, Tris arrives at the Bureau along with her friends and Amar.

David, the chief of the Bureau, reveals that Tris’s mother once worked at the Bureau, and is not Dauntless borne. Tris has her genes tested, and it turns out that she is genetically pure, just like her mother. However, Tobias’ genes are genetically damaged. Tris absorbs knowledge of the outside world, also learning that Chicago, the metropolis that she once resided in, is constantly being monitored by the Bureau. Tobias meets Nita, an attractive lady that is planning to steal memory serums from the Bureau, and takes part in her plan. Nita’s attack ended up almost killing Uriah, leaving Tobias to feel responsible for Uriah’s

injury.
In order to save Chicago from absolute chaos and potential anarchy, Tobias must choose one of his parents to annihilate their memory. Nevertheless, Tobias believes that choosing either parent results from his own selfishness. In the end, Tobias chooses his mother, Evelyn. Instead of forcing Evelyn to drink the memory serum, he gives her a choice: to stay with her son or the factionless. Meanwhile, Tris and Caleb tries to stop the plan of erasing the memory of the citizens of Chicago. Tris is exposed to the death serum, but does not die due to her pure genes. She dies, however, as a result of David shooting her.
Evelyn chooses to stay with her son and declares peace with the Allegiant, but only if Marcus, Tobias’ father, will never be a leader again. Tobias is acutely saddened and shocked by Tris’s death, but continues to live on and remember her in his memories. In conclusion, Tris discovers that her life is a lie.
