Whenever I watch or read something about a dystopian future, I need the dystopia to make sense in order to be invested. I can see the logic in Hunger Games; keep the workers as oppressed as possible while the elite live in luxury. In The Handmaid’s Tale, the subjugation of women makes sense as a way for the patriarchy to retain dominance. In Divergent, however, what did the oppressive dystopian government have to gain from arbitrarily segregating the population based on dominant personality traits? What would be the point of going to all that effort? There is a lot wrong with Divergent, but that stuck out to me the most.
