Divergent by
Veronica Roth
This is a letter form Tobias talking to Tris about her
actions being the hero.
To Tris,
I know that we have become really
close over the years and you are known as the hero in the story, but you make
stupid decisions. You think of yourself as the epic hero of your own story. You
think of others in mind before you think of yourself. It’s like when you went
to erudite as a self-sacrifice for the others in our faction, as a divergent.
You only thought of the people your were saving but in reality you were only
killing yourself. Once you gave yourself to the erudite they tortured you to
the point of no return, they told you would be killed once they were done
testing on you. Why did you go through with it, how did you not try to find a
way to survive? I think you are more of a tragic hero, and you need
enlightenment about your fatal flaw.
The only reason I’m writing this is
to ask why you don’t care for yourself. I care for you so much that after you
sacrificed yourself, I had to do the same, since I can’t live without you.
After that I am part of the reason you made it out of erudite headquarters
alive, I mean I had the help of Peter (one of your enemies) who turned out to
actually save you. But you didn’t even try. It hurts that you have no care for
your own life. You are a very important person in my life and I don’t know what
I would do without you.
I see how you affect other around
us. They really listen to you and really go out of their way for your opinion.
Now that everyone knows that you are openly a divergent, they think more of
you. They think that you have a better view on things than they do in
comparison. But you went against all of us trying to get that information.
After I fought to get you out of erudite you fight your way back in. We went to
attack them to run them down, and you wanted to save them. You went to save
that information. I know I changed my mind in the end, but you still fought
against the people that were by your side in the beginning. I just wish you
would’ve trusted me with your plan, maybe I could’ve helped you out. I know my
judgment was clouded but it seems you don’t trust me.
I wish I didn’t have to tell this
to you in a letter. But it is just so hard to talk to you lately. Now that
things have changed and have taken a total 180. I hope this will make you think
of what you have done and change. I think you can still the epic hero of your
story. But you need to change in order to be the hero that you want to be. I think
this will be really easy for you to do with the new information that we
learned.
I really think everyone will be looking
at you directly. Now that we know that you are the directly related to the
person that put us in here. I don’t know how people will react to this information
but I know that all eyes will be on you. You need to be careful with you
actions that you make, you need to put more thought into what you are going to
do. What you do will affect everyone around you. Please do it for me.
Stay Safe Tris,
Tobias Eaton
