Divergent Theme Of Power

Divergent is about a Society split into 5 factions based on a citizen's aptitudes and their values. Divergents are citizens who have equal attributes relating to more than 1 faction. Divergents are considered a threat to government as they can think independently meaning that the government can't control them.

I think the theme of Power is relevant to today's world in many ways, especially how it was portrayed in Divergent. In divergent the leader of one of the factions attempts to overthrow the governing faction and control the government herself. I feel like this relates to our world when you look at some of the Presidential candidates and some of the lengths that they have gone to in an attempt for a chance at presidency.
