Utopian or unconstitutional?
There are so many technological advancements in the entire Divergent series. However, i'm not entirely sure that I would ever want these particular advancements to happen. They can erase your memory, change your genes, give you serum so you can tell only the truth. They call this a utopian society, but I call it unconstitutional. They take away everything you have ever known. They force you to tell the truth about everything. You are supposed to have a freedom of speech so that you can voice your opinion and talk about what you want to talk about. You should never be forced to forget your childhood or tell your deep dark secrets to the entire society. Why would anyone call that utopian?

Utopia
True or false: there is some time of rebellion in every Utopian society?
In my opinion it's true. Why? Authors know that there will never be a such thing as a " perfect" world. It isn't very likely that there isn't going to be at least one person in the society who is selfminded. The government can't expect to control everything and everyone without the people becoming infuriated at the lack of freedom. Once the people in the story realize the ammount of enforced laws and regulations of their city, town, country or even Nation, they will know that something has to change.
Once the characters get even the slightest sense of freedom that is what they are going to work towards. What is the first thing tthey will do when they realize the intensity of the governments control? Rebel, revolt and essentially overthrow.

Allegient
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to find out that someone you thought had died was really alive? Have you ever thought about what you would do if you were faced with any life changing choice? Tris, Four and some of the other characters were forced to believe in a fake reality. Now, some of them have been told the truth. Were their whole lives full of lives and stories? Were they told unbearable truth? How will they react in the situation? How would you react if you were in their shoes?
