How we cite our quotes: (Part.Paragraph)
Quote #1
[Marcus's] hands collide with my chest. (1.115)
In other themes, like "isolation" and "freedom and confinement" we discuss Marcus's emotional abuse. Here, we see that he gets physical too, and not like Olivia Newton John.
Quote #2
He will return with a belt, and the stripes he carves into my back will be easily hidden by a shirt and an obedient Abnegation expression. (1.119)
This physical abuse is awful. Scenes like these make it understandable why Marcus is the worst of Four's four fears.
Quote #3
I am afraid—I am afraid of what I will be asked to do in Dauntless, of what I will want to do. Afraid of some kind of hidden violence inside of me, wrought by my father and by the years of silence my faction forced on me. (1.297)
This is something Tobias/Four has in common with his father—a violence inside. Unlike Marcus, however, Four can usually control himself.
