Allegiant (Divergent Trilogy - Book 3)

I was just starting to read the final book of Divergent trilogy by Veronica Roth, entitled Allegiant. The characters faced a conflict with their society. They’ve discovered a video revealing their lives, or what’s beyond it. It has something to do with what they are, and something that made a drastic change in their lives. I don’t mean to spoil anything so let me just give a brief background of what would happen. Ever wondered with Beatrice on what was on the other side of the fence? We readers keep reading about the fence, and I, myself is very much curious about it as well. They are being guarded from what’s outside the fence and remember the Amity compound? There was a gate with lock from the outside, it’s meant to keep them inside the city.
Why are there guards that patrol the fence?
Why they can’t go beyond that fence?
Why are they locked from the outside?
These are the questions that come to mind of the protagonists Beatrice and Tobias, along with some significant supporting characters.
In the book, the fence was literally a fence, not some metaphor.
I think the author is using the fence as a metaphor of what she’s thinking about life or what transcends it. What if what we truly believe in is not true? What if someone is keeping the truth from us? I don’t know. These are the questions that come to my mind when I read the first few chapters.
In our lives, we don’t get to see a literal fence but we know our limits or what’s outside that boundary from where we are right now? What if it’s different from what we were accustomed to? What if, if we go beyond that, what will happen? What will we discover? What’s in store for us?
I don’t know if you can understand what I am saying. I’m not sure if you think you’re just wasting your time reading the thoughts of some random blogger. I’m just stating my thoughts here. I don’t know, maybe I was just so engross with the book that I took every word from it seriously, like my neurons just got twisted and made me think of it this way.
I, myself can’t honestly decipher or put to words the thoughts that I really want to express on this. I was just thinking of the thought and learning I have as of now. We have been accustomed to live like this: born, learn, love, death. It’s always a cycle of these things. That’s the way of life, but what if something changes it? I just realized that our way of life is simplified compared to whatever is beyond it.
