Commentary: The main concept of this story is accepting that each person possesses different traits and that you need more than one trait to create an interesting society. This concept can also be found in the book Divergent, in the book there are certain factions that people are divided into based on the certain traits they possess in their character. However; divergent is viewed as a threat to the society just because they possess all of the traits in each faction.
