to those of you who have only seen the insurgent movie and think that caleb prior is weak and defenseless
“Caleb’s eyes shift to the open door behind me, and he seizes the chair, turning and swinging it into my body. The legs hit me, hard, which slows me down just enough to let him slip by.”
and never tries to defend his sister
“A Dauntless man at the end of the aisle aims his own revolver at me. The black spot at the end of the barrel grows around me, and I can hear my heart but nothing else.
Caleb lunges forward and grabs my gun, he holds it in both hands and fires at the knees of the Dauntless man who stands just feet away from him.”
“‘You froze! Someone was about to kill you and you just sat there!’ He is yelling now. ‘I thought I could rely on you at least to save your own life!’
‘Hey!’ says Caleb. ‘Give her a break, all right?’”
because he doesn’t love her
“I kneel on the pallet and Caleb cuts a piece of my shirt away from my shoulder with a pair of medical scissors. Caleb peels the square of fabric away, revealing first the Abnegation tattoo on my right shoulder and second, the three birds on my collarbone(…)I lie on my stomach. Caleb squeezes my palm as my father gets the antiseptic from the first aid kit.”
“‘Tris,’ says Caleb. ‘You’re still wearing gray.’
I pinch my father’s shirt, and hesitate.
‘It’s Dad’s,’ I say. If I change out of it, I will have to leave it behind. I bite my lip so that the pain will steady me. I have to get rid of it. It’s just a shirt. That’s all it is.
“I’ll put it on under mine,” Caleb says. ‘They’ll never see it.’”
“‘Caleb,’ I say, ‘I love you.’
His eyes gleam with tears as he says, ‘I love you, too, Beatrice.’”
