But it is curious to note how almost every leader that we see-with the possible exception of Tris's dad-is also a jerk. Unlike Erudite, which has one leader, Abnegation is led by a ruling council, and we don't have proof that all of the councilors are bad parents.

And then when we see him in person, it's not much better: Tris notices how cold his eyes are (37.49), which seems like a giant neon sign saying, "this guy is bad news." We're sure the second book is full of father-son arguments and/or games of catch, but Marcus's main job here is to give Four a reason to join Dauntless.īut Marcus isn't just the bad dad he's also one of the leaders of Abnegation. In fact, the first time we see him, it's in Four's fear landscape, where Tris protects Four from him. We don't see a lot of Marcus, Four's abusive dad. And though he's not a direct threat to Tris (not the way Peter and Eric are), that doesn't mean he isn't dangerous, since he's working willingly with Jeanine on destroying Abnegation. For instance, he made the initiation ritual more competitive and brutal (18.108). We do hear that he's made some bad changes to Dauntless. Jeanine shows up once to be both logical and evil ("I want to find out what happens when someone drowns, so I'll drown this Tris girl") and Max shows up in his role of leader of the Dauntless to watch the initiates go through their fear landscapes (which is what you do if you don't have TV.)īut other than that, we don't see him much at all. It's funny that we don't see a lot of the big bosses in this book.
