Another thing I don’t get about Divergent:
I always thought that Al was murdered by Dauntless leadership because they found his body at the bottom of the chasm—the same place Tori’s divergent brother was found murdered.
For some reason, I always associated the two and thought it was implied that Al was also murdered. I guess this doesn’t make total sense since Al wasn’t divergent or anything special, so there was no reason for him to be killed.
My only reasoning was that when Tris is being attacked by those guys, including Al, she describes his face as sort of expressionless and then when he apologizes the next morning, he says that he doesn’t know what took over him.
We know that Dauntless has the injections that they can use to control people’s minds and actions, so I thought this is what they were doing and that they were using Al to get rid of Tris. I thought that since they failed, they staged Al’s death as a guilt-driven suicide so no one would look further into his reasonings for attacking Tris.
Am I the only one that thought this?
