Many of the fictional characters found in literature, television, or theater are based on fantasies. These characters may possess inhumane abilities, wealth, or troubled pasts. However, some specific characters are remembered because they have personalities that personally relate to us. Beatrice (Tris), from the Divergent series written by Veronica Roth, is the character that I am most similar to. In the series, the society is divided into five factions (virtues): Abnegation, Amity, Candor, Erudite, and Dauntless. Each faction represents the personality a person must only possess: the selfless, the peaceful, the honest, the intelligent, the brave, respectively. The distribution of what faction each teenager is assigned to is done through an aptitude test. When Tris took the test, it was discovered that she did not pertain to one specific personality type, rather to …show more content…
In this special one week experience, high school students become counselors for fifth graders and guide them through various nature related tasks. As a counselor, I constantly worried about the safety of the children over my own and put my own needs of relaxation on hold. Tris’s selflessness is portrayed similarly to mine as they both deal with safety. Instead of children, she puts her friend Al’s safety in front of her own by getting hit by the knives thrown at Al. The Erudite faction is expressed through the number of AP and accelerated courses I have taken in high school. I constantly have the need to push myself to extremes with rigorous classes and academic clubs. These clubs such as Technology Student Association require hours of nonstop quality work which I put in because I have the willpower and intelligence to do so. Other than me, Tris also shows her intelligence when she was able to pick the most logical response from a particular situation, something an Erudite clearly

Beatrice:Well twas but a short time ago that we were both quite content and merry in our ways.
Among low income, minority communities there is a high rate of violence and gangs. Rafe gets these children to become involved into new hobbies when they are out of school. These children are staying off the streets and becoming great students. Rafe takes into understand the community and lifestyle these children are growing up in and becomes a great support system for them. This is greatly shown as his former students created a foundation for his classroom to continue with his teaching methods.
characters are in many ways divergent, and it is in fact these traits that reveal the most about
In the Beatrice-Benedick plot, Beatrice is arguably more important than her lover, not only because she’s sharper than he is, but also because she holds quite a few of the cards. Once they fall in love, Benedick is always the one making advances, and Beatrice has the option of accepting him or rejecting him. Benedick is the first to admit he’s in love, laying himself bare, and Beatrice controls the action by choosing to return his love. Similarly, in the last scene, Benedick calls Beatrice forward, and she comes close to rejecting his love publicly.
The Two Opposites “Peace! I will stop your mouth. In the book Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare Beatrice and Benedick are a pair who share both similar and different traits. We also see that both, will not confess their love for one another. Most of the book revolves around these two characters who end up falling in love in the end, both go through conflict but resolving it.
In Shakespeare’s play, Much Ado About Nothing, there are two couples: Claudio and Hero, and Benedick and Beatrice, both couples met in different ways and both act very differently. In this essay, I will describe how these couples are similar and different.
There is a thin line between love and hate. Beatrice and Benedick both have put effort into a façade to cover up their true feelings. Sometimes, this façade exposes a glimpse of one’s true intentions. At the beginning of the play, Beatrice questions “I pray you, is Signor Montanto…” revealing that she does care for him or else she would not have asked for the condition of Benedick specifically. When Claudio is admiring Hero’s beauty, Benedick disagrees with him, instead believing “her cousin… exceeds her as much in beauty” exemplifying that to him, Beatrice is the most beautiful.
Moreover deception plays a major role in the humiliation of Benedick and Beatrice to bring them together. Firstly they are deceiving themselves into believing they feel nothing but dislike towards one another, whilst conducting a ‘merry war’ of witty insults. However both characters are then tricked into believing they are infatuated with one another through the use of gulling scenes which begin with Benedick’s soliloquy in which he describes his perfect girl; he describes Beatrice without realising, yet the audience does. This creates dramatic irony and thus comedy for the audience as Benedick is unaware of the revelation that he idolises Beatrice. The deception is ultimately successful as those participating appeal to the fears of Benedick’s
There have been many characters, all which have their own special personalities, introduced this year. Even though they are simply part of a piece of literature, some have become real in a way. They speak their emotions, and share their stories. They tell the audience everything, and begin a relationship with them. They begin to grow on the audience, and some characters may even become their friends.
Beatrice Prior - known as “Tris”, born in the faction Abnegation. She is a very strong women but still there are questions in her mind. She decided to choose Dauntless and strongly faced all the trials. At first, she is so weak but she keeps learning and enjoying being a Dauntless.
“And i'll be sworn upon ‘t that he loves her, for here’s a paper written in his hand, a halting sonnet of his own pure brain. Fashioned to Beatrice”(shows paper). Benedick and Beatrice always argued throughout the play and not until the very where they admitted their love for eachother. If they would've told each other how they had felt about each other sooner their wouldn't have had as many arguments and got married earlier. In Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare, Beatrice serves as a foil character of Benedick by which Benedicks moonstruck actions are illuminated through Beatrice's consistent actions; thus, interminably influences the conflict of the plot.
Tv shows have, at least once, captured the hearts of one and all. Through these shows, people are able to see how they can relate their life to the characters. Having a character to build a relationship with can lead to people seeing similar things between themselves and that personality.
Furthermore, Beatrice during ‘’choosing ceremony’’ scene was also one the protagonist character that is considered to have contributed an important role. However, there were some slight differences between the representation of Beatrice in both novel and film. To evidence, the main point of view that portrays the difference in the film was when Beatrice was undecided of what faction to choose thus choosing Dauntless a faction that leaves everyone stunned as well as herself. Since she merged a faction that she didn’t imagine joining, during the initiation process she needs to face devastating consequences, threats and vulnerability. However, for her to overcome them she needs determination, commitment and resilience to survive in the Dauntless
I would wish to change the scene where Tobias and Beatrice get into an altercation after him finding out she murdered Will, her best friend while she was under the influence of the truth serum. I would revision the scene to be more suspenseful instead of it being a normal argument I would like it to have more depth and emotion for example if I was the author I would give more of a description of how they are feeling or what they are thinking inside. Maybe even have other people involved like Christina, Will's girlfriend express how hurt and betrayed she felt. I wanted a scene that would send shivers up my spine. Tobias and Christina would have met up and consequently confronted Beatrice which in result of that brought up strong emotions and
