The Divergent Series: Divergent, Insurgent and Allegiant

This particular one is spun out of my love for science-fiction movies especially the dystopian ones. This movie takes us to a world which is very much unlike the one we live in. It is set in a not so distant future in a city in which the citizens live in factions organized by “the founders” of the city.

The five factions (Candor, Erudite, Abnegation, Dauntless and Amity) has members each with structured DNAs and each faction having its own responsibility towards the growth of the city, they were set up because it was believed to be the most suitable form of living by the founders.

This arrangement although favourable at the start, turns sour as greed, distrust, and ambitiousness became the order of the day. This arrangement is further disrupted by the emergence of the “divergent“; a small group of people whose DNAs aren’t as structured as their counterparts. This brings about lust for power resulting in mayhem and the intense need to eliminate these group of outcast known as the “divergents“.

The series with its numerous cliffhangers is that which keeps you on your toes. You’ll find yourself eager to know what happens next. It comes with a lot of action but not without a touch of romance, science and the law altogether. It’s the kind that teaches you life lessons such as; the power of friendship, the consequences of lust and abuse of power, the importance of friendship and teamwork. It also goes to tell us that nothing is actually quite as it seems as there is always a reason and double meaning for everything.
