Chapter XXXIV



Tris and Tobias are taken to Abnegation headquarters and brought to Jeanine, who quickly hangs up the phone. She remembers Tris and isn’t surprised she is a Divergent rebel, but is surprised by Four.  She wants to know how he eluded her and Tobias stands up to her. She says she will eventually figure it out and considers this a project to uncover the Divergent mysteries, especially why they usually come from the Abnegation faction.  Tris realizes Jeanine wants to control the factions as Tobias and Jeanine continue and Jeanine explains her plan further.  Jeanine seems more like a problem-solving machine than a person to Tris:

“Divergence is just another problem for her to solve, and that is what makes her so terrifying – because she is smart enough to solve anything, even the problem of our existence.”

Jeanine tells Tobias he will be used as the first test subject for her new serum that manipulates a person’s will. It appears to me that there are a million serums out there. This has to be like the fifth one this book! After she says Tris will be executed, Tobias kisses Tris and then tries to choke Jeanine. I feel bad for Tobias. All he wanted to do was help Tris and now he is being punished by being brainwashed. Tobias is restrained and given the new serum which immediately makes him confuse a friend as enemy.  Jeanine sends him to the control room and Tris to room B13.
