Abstract
This paper identifies the dystopian elements present in the Divergent trilogy, both in Young Adult novels and its film adaptations. The purpose of the dystopian elements, which are concealment of information, falsification of historical accounts, education that results in one-dimensional individuals and the poor, a social structure where some are privileged more than the others, governments that mislead the public, and an abusive application of science, is to engage people (in this case, adolescents) in political action. However, contrary to its purpose, dystopia can fail in its attempt to engage. The endings of Veronica Roth’s Divergent trilogy and its film adaptations can discourage the readership and audience respectively from engaging in political action because the protagonists of both the novels and the films defied an oppressive regime and made sacrifices for the sake of people who would uncritically accept anything as truth.
