Although this is a love story, in my opinion it is also a story of
rebellion. Condie does a great good of creating they life triangle between Cassia, Xander and Ky. Condie emphasizes that whoever Cassia chose to be with, she would have completely different ways a life with either of them.
This is also a story of rebellion. For example in the story, each citizen is given a container with 3
pills. You are only supposed to consume a certain intake of pills a day, if
needed. In many instances people would give away their pills to someone else or
secretly not take them. I think Ky had the greatest impact on the start of the rebellion
because he has always known things the citizens of the Society didn’t. He also
taught Cassia things that weren’t allowed, like writing. After Cassia discovers
her fathers’ rebellion, she starts to have doubts about the Society as well.
