The concept of the hero's journey, popularized by Joseph Campbell, has been prevalent in literature and storytelling for centuries. Divergent by Veronica Roth offers a fascinating adaptation of this timeless narrative structure. The story follows the protagonist, Beatrice "Tris" Prior, as she navigates a dystopian society divided into factions based on human virtues. Her journey from self-doubting girl to courageous leader is a compelling reimagining of the hero's journey, marked by trials, transformation, and profound self-discovery. The hero's journey in Divergent is exemplary in its ability to encapsulate the universal themes of growth, identity, and overcoming adversity. Initially, Tris lives in the Abnegation faction, where selflessness is the core value. However, she feels out of place and yearns for something more, which is the first indication of her "call to adventure." The Choosing Ceremony, in which members select their factions, serves as the catalyst for his journey. Tris' decision to join the Dauntless faction, known for its courage, marks her "crossing the threshold" into a new and uncertain world. This change is fraught with pitfalls that test his physical and emotional limits, mirroring the “Trials” stage of his journey. During her initiation into Dauntless, Tris encounters many "allies and enemies". She becomes friends with Christina, Will and Al, who provide support and companionship. Conversely, she faces antagonism from characters like Peter, who embodies the obstacles she must overcome. Additionally, his budding relationship with instructor, Tobias "Four" Eaton, represents a crucial ally that facilitates his growth. This period of testing and alliance-building is essential because it prepares Tris for the greater challenges ahead. His struggles and successes during this phase help him build his confidence and shape his identity. The approach to the innermost cave in Divergent occurs when Tris discovers that she is Divergent, meaning she doesn't fit neatly into any faction. This revelation is a turning point, as it puts her in grave danger while revealing her unique strengths. The "Trial", a critical step in the hero's journey, occurs when she uncovers a conspiracy by the Erudite faction to overthrow Abnegation. This conspiracy threatens to destabilize the entire society, and Tris must confront her deepest fears to counter this existential threat. The “reward” of Tris’s journey is multifaceted. On a personal level, she gains a deeper understanding of her identity and her Divergent nature. This self-awareness allows him to exploit his unique abilities, becoming a more formidable force against his enemies. On a societal level, she plays a central role in thwarting the Scholars' coup, thus protecting her community. However, the journey is far from over, as the "Road Back" involves dealing with the aftermath of the conflict and the chaos that followed. Tris' return to her community is marked by new trials, notably linked to the loss of loved ones and the constant threat of the Erudite faction. The final stages of the hero's journey, "Resurrection" and "Return with the Elixir", manifest as Tris fully embraces her role as leader and guardian of societal balance. Her transformation from an insecure girl to a determined leader encapsulates the essence of the hero's journey, with each step contributing to her growth and the larger narrative of societal change. In conclusion, Divergent offers a rich and nuanced interpretation of the hero's journey. Tris' path is strewn with trials, alliances,
