How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
"What did they do to you? You're acting like a lunatic." "That's not very nice of you to say," I say. "They put me in a good mood, that's all." (6.83-6.84)
It says a lot about Tris's personality that when she starts acting happy, Tobias knows that she's been put under some sort of chemical influence. Being happy and affectionate just isn't a part of her identity.
Quote #5
Did I want to [fight the peace serum]? Or was it nice to forget about anger, forget about pain, forget about everything for a few hours? (7.9)
Okay, so Tris sounds like a person who does want to be happy here. But she also sounds either suicidal or like a drug addict. Someone should keep that "peace serum" away from her before she's injecting it between her own toes.
Quote #6
My mouth goes dry. No factions? A world in which no one knows who they are or where they fit? I can't even fathom it. I imagine only chaos and isolation. (9.74)
One of the reasons Tris likes the faction system is that it pretty much chooses her identity for her. She doesn't understand how anyone can have an identity if they exist outside a faction. (She has a point, though… how exactly do we normals define ourselves in the real world?)
