The Five

I find this image to be an excellent one to associate with Abnegation.  The simple, muted, earthy tones reflect the factions colors, and the simplistic shapes of the flowers reflect their ideology quite well.  The way they are positioned, a downwards glance, is a humble gesture, and is the perfect symbol of Abnegation.


    I feel this is a perfect representation of the Amity faction.  Not only does is convey a feeling of the utmost peace and contentedness in a lush farmland, it utilizes one of their colors in its composition: yellow.  I feel like the bright, saturated colors depict a feeling of happiness as well, which is a trait the Amity members are noted as displaying.


Candor in an image.  Short, sweet, to the point.  Exactly like their manifesto.  The Lady of Justice, a symbol of Honesty, their cardinal virtue. The image is solely black and white, not only their colors, but the way they view morality as well.



It has been said that the light of knowledge dispels ignorance, and the Erudite embrace this ideal.  They believe the lack of knowledge is not stupidity, but ignorance, and this image conveys the search for knowledge to dispel ignorance.  It makes use of an intense blue, the color they use to calm and focus themselves in their academic pursuits.



    I admire ordinary acts of bravery.  This is what the Dauntless believe, this is what this man, protesting the Soviet occupation of Prague, is performing.  The Dauntless care not for fear, for their own safety.  They care for justice and the greater good, whatever it may be, and this image is that ideal made tangible.
