Correct Answer: The Divergent Box
The central mystery of Insurgent revolves around a box discovered by Jeanine that allegedly holds a message from the city’s founders. It can only be opened by someone who can pass simulations from all five factions — i.e., a true Divergent. The box symbolizes control, secrecy, and the dangerous truth hidden from the population.
- Which actor portrays Jeanine Matthews, the main antagonist?
Correct Answer: Kate Winslet
Kate Winslet plays Jeanine Matthews, the cold and calculating leader of the Erudite faction. Obsessed with order and control, Jeanine is willing to manipulate and sacrifice others in pursuit of what she believes is a utopian society. Winslet brings sophistication and menace to the role, making Jeanine a formidable villain.
- What must a Divergent complete to open the box?
Correct Answer: Simulations from all five factions
The box is protected by a series of highly dangerous simulations, each representing one of the five factions — Abnegation, Amity, Candor, Dauntless, and Erudite. A Divergent must pass all five, which require immense emotional strength, bravery, and intelligence. This sequence is one of the film’s most intense and visually striking elements.
- Who is revealed to be capable of passing all simulations?
Correct Answer: Tris
Tris is the only known Divergent strong enough to pass all five simulations, making her the key to unlocking the message hidden inside the box. Her mental resilience and inner conflict — especially guilt over her parents’ deaths — make her journey through the simulations both physically and emotionally challenging.
- What is Four’s real name in the series?
Correct Answer: Tobias Eaton
Four, Tris’s love interest and ally, is revealed to be Tobias Eaton. His backstory is one of abuse and rebellion, having escaped his cruel father in Abnegation by joining Dauntless. His strength and loyalty are crucial in Tris’s fight against Jeanine, and his identity plays an important role in understanding his motivations and choices.
- Which faction serves as a safe haven at the beginning of the film?
Correct Answer: Amity
At the start of the film, Tris, Four, and their allies take refuge with the peaceful Amity faction. Known for valuing harmony and cooperation, Amity stands in contrast to the militaristic and power-hungry world outside. However, their neutrality is challenged as Jeanine hunts down all Divergents.
- What major revelation is contained within the box?
Correct Answer: The Divergents are needed to save the outside world
Once opened, the message inside the box reveals that the entire faction system was an experiment, and Divergents are meant to be the next step in humanity’s evolution — a hope for the future beyond the city walls. This twist reframes the entire story, showing that the oppressive system was never the intended outcome.
- What is the central theme of Insurgent?
Correct Answer: Identity, control, and rebellion
Insurgent explores the struggle between self-identity and societal control. Tris must come to terms with who she is — not just a Divergent, but a person burdened by guilt and driven by truth. The film also critiques authoritarian systems that suppress individuality and challenges viewers to think about the cost of rebellion and the price of freedom.
