A pie chart of the society in Divergent, the YA franchise coming to theaters Friday, would have five slices, representing the five types of people in the fictional universe devised by author Veronica Roth: Dauntless, Amity, Candor, Erudite, and Abnegation. Dauntless are the warrior class, those in Amity farm the earth, the clever Erudite store knowledge, Candor members enact the law, and selfless Abnegation leads. “It all works,” explains Tris (Shailene Woodley) in the opening voice-over, referring to the system by which 16-year-old kids choose their factions and then stay there for life. “Everyone knows where they belong.”
