Description: Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,7, Ernst Moritz Arndt University of Greifswald (Anglophone Literaturwissenschaft), language: English, abstract: In the following, I will show and analyze the system of the factions in The Divergent by Verona Roth and its abuse ruled by the government as well as the system of the factions. I will consider how the factions interact. The relationships between and within the factions are important aspects, too. My term paper should prove that the social construct of society is abused by the government. Veronica Roth has written a trilogy of this dystopian novel. They are called firstly The Divergent (2011), secondly The Insurgent (2012) and thirdly The Allegiant (2013). My primary source for this paper will be the first edition The Divergent so that I can get more into depth while analyzing. Involving all books would exceed the frame of the paper. Moreover, I will use public journals, newspaper, and secondary literature to underline the relevance of the topic for society in recent years. I will also use the novel The Hunger Games (2012) written by Suzanne Collins in some cases to find similarities and differences in dystopian, young adult fiction literature. The government abuses its power to control the majority of the population in the fictional future city Chicago. Protagonist in the novel is Beatrice Prior who will take the main space for my citations and arguments in this paper. Her thoughts and actions represent the power and discipline that young adults can show, in this case in literature.

Description: Der SPIEGEL-Bestseller: Ein aufwühlender, fesselnder Roman über die Welt von morgen. Altruan – die Selbstlosen. Candor – die Freimütigen. Ken – die Wissenden. Amite – die Friedfertigen. Und schließlich Ferox – die Furchtlosen ... Fünf Fraktionen, fünf völlig verschiedene Lebensformen sind es, zwischen denen Beatrice, wie alle Sechzehnjährigen ihrer Welt, wählen muss. Ihre Entscheidung wird ihr gesamtes zünftiges Leben bestimmen, denn die Fraktion, der sie sich anschließt, gilt fortan als ihre Familie. Doch der Eignungstest, der über Beatrices innere Bestimmung Auskunft geben soll, zeigt kein eindeutiges Ergebnis. Sie ist eine Unbestimmte, sie trägt mehrere widerstreitende Begabungen in sich. Damit gilt sie als Gefahr für die Gemeinschaft. Beatrice entscheidet sich, ihre bisherige Fraktion, die Altruan, zu verlassen, und schließt sich den wagemutigen Ferox an. Dort aber gerät sie ins Zentrum eines Konflikts, der nicht nur ihr Leben, sondern auch das all derer, die sie liebt, bedroht... Die grandiose Trilogie "Die Bestimmung" von Veronica Roth ist eine unendlich spannende Zukunftsvision voller überraschender Wendungen, heftiger Emotionen und kraftvoller Einblicke in die menschliche Natur – fesselnd bis zur letzten Seite! Alle Bücher der Die-Bestimmung-Reihe: Band 1 – Die Bestimmung Band 2 – Tödliche Wahrheit Band 3 – Letzte Entscheidung Fours Geschichte ("Die Bestimmung" aus Fours Pespektive)
