Introduction
Tris Prior is the protagonist of the Divergent trilogy, a series of young adult science fiction novels by Veronica Roth. The trilogy consists of Divergent (2011), Insurgent (2012), and Allegiant (2013). The books are set in a dystopian Chicago and follow Tris as she navigates a society divided into factions.
Tris is a Divergent, meaning she does not fit into any one faction. When she chooses to join the Dauntless faction, she must undergo a series of dangerous initiation tests. Throughout the trilogy, Tris is faced with multiple challenges, both physical and psychological.
The movies based on the Divergent trilogy were released between 2014 and 2016. They starred Shailene Woodley as Tris and Theo James as Four, Tris’s love interest.
The movies diverge from the books in many ways, but one of the most significant changes is the ending of Allegiant. In the book, Tris dies; in the movie, she does not.
Whether or not you think this change was for the better is up for debate. But it’s safe to say that Tris’s story would have been very different if she had died in the movies.
The Divergent Series
The Divergent series is a set of young adult dystopian science fiction films based on the Divergent novels by Veronica Roth. The films are distributed by Summit Entertainment and Lionsgate Films. The first installment, Divergent, was released on March 21, 2014, the second installment, Insurgent, was released on March 20, 2015 in the United States. The third and final installment, Allegiant, was released on March 18, 2016.
The first movie follows Beatrice “Tris” Prior (Shailene Woodley) as she chooses to leave her family and49348 exist in a society where people are confined to specific factions based on human virtues. She joins the Dauntless faction, whose members are known for their bravery, and is trained to transfer into the military. During her initiation, she uncovers a conspiracy within the faction system and learns that she is Divergent – meaning she does not fit perfectly into any one faction. This makes her a target for Jeanine Matthews (Kate Winslet), the leader of the Erudite faction who seeks to exterminate all Divergents. Insurgent follows Tris as she tries to figure out Jeanine’s plan while also trying to stop it before it destroys everything they have fought for. In Allegiant, Tris and Tobias “Four” Eaton (Theo James) lead a group of survivors outside of the wall surrounding Chicago in an attempt to start a rebellion against Jeanine and the other factions.
Throughout all three movies, Tris faces many challenges and obstacles, but does she die in any of them?
**No**
The Hunger Games
Tris dies in the movies. In the books, she survives.
The Maze Runner
At the end of The Maze Runner, Tris (Shailene Woodley) appears to die after she sacrifices herself to save her brother, Caleb (Dylan O’Brien). However, the movie ends with a cliffhanger, and it’s not clear if Tris is actually dead or not.
The Fault in Our Stars
The Fault in Our Stars was a huge hit when it was released in 2014, and fans of the novel were eager to see how the story would be translated to the big screen. The movie did not disappoint, and it even managed to stay true to the book’s ending, which is notoriously sad.
However, some viewers were left wondering whether or not Tris actually dies in the movie. While it is never explicitly stated, there are several clues that suggest she does not survive.
For one, the very end of the movie shows Tris’ parents grieving over her coffin. This would not make sense if she were still alive. Additionally, during the final battle scene, one of the characters says “Tris is gone,” which also seems to indicate that she has died.
Of course, there is always the possibility that Tris could have been wounded and taken to a hospital off-screen, but given all of the evidence, it seems more likely that she did not make it out of the final battle alive.
The Giver
In the movie The Giver, does Tris die? This is a difficult question to answer, as the movie does not give a clear answer. However, there are some clues that suggest that Tris may have died in the movie.
First of all, when Jonas and Fiona are in the woods at night, they see a light in the distance. Fiona says that it is probably “Tris” and runs towards the light. However, when they get there, they find that it is just a fireflies. This could be interpreted as a sign that Tris is dead, as she is no longer there (represented by the fireflies).
Later on in the movie, Jonas enters into what is known as “The Elsewhere”. In this place, he sees a vision of his father holding a baby. It is possible that this baby is actually Tris, and that her death was just another one of Jonas’s memories.
At the end of the movie, Jonas asks The Giver if he will ever see Fiona and Gabriel again. The Giver says that he does not know, but he believes that it is possible. This could be interpreted as another clue that Tris has died, as she is not mentioned by name.
Overall, it is difficult to say for sure whether or not Tris died in the movie. However, there are some clues that suggest that she may have perished.
The Notebook
SPOILER ALERT: This article contains major plot details from The Notebook.
In the film adaptation of Nicholas Sparks’ novel The Notebook, Ryan Gosling’s character, Noah Calhoun, suffers from Alzheimer’s disease. One of the film’s most heartbreaking scenes occurs near the end, when Noah forgetting who his wife Allie (played by Rachel McAdams) is.
Earlier in the film, Allie is diagnosed with dementia, and eventually succumbs to the disease. When she forgets who Noah is, he tells her their story in an attempt to jog her memory. It’s a touching scene, but some viewers have wondered whether or not it’s actually possible for someone with dementia to forget their spouse.
Though the film is fiction, some experts say that it’s not outside the realm of possibility for someone with dementia to forget their spouse. “It would be highly unusual for somebody with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia to forget everyone except their spouse,” says Dr. Gary Small, a geriatric psychiatrist and author of the book The Memory Bible.
But Small says that there are other factors that can contribute to a person with dementia forgetting their spouse. “Sometimes people will become fixated on a particular person from their past,” he explains. “So if somebody had a very strong relationship with a parent or a grandparent or somebody else early in life, sometimes they will focus on that individual and gradually lose track of everybody else.”
It’s also worth noting that the severity of dementia can vary from person to person. “Some people will have very mild symptoms and they may live for many years without any major problems,” Small says. “Other people can become severely impaired within just a few years.”
So while it’s not impossible for someone with dementia to forget their spouse, it is rare. And in most cases, experts say that the bond between spouses is strong enough to withstand the effects of the disease.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a novel by Stephen Chbosky which follows main character Charlie as he starts high school and struggles with various mental health issues. One popular topic of debate among fans is whether or not Charlie’s friend Tris, who dies by suicide in the book, actually dies in the movie adaptation.
Many people believe that Tris does die in the movie, as there are several scenes which seem to suggest this. For example, when Charlie is talking to Tris on the phone near the end of the film, she mentions that she wishes she could have seen him over the summer. This could be interpreted as her saying goodbye to Charlie before she kills herself.
Others believe that Tris is still alive at the end of the movie, as there are also several scenes which suggest this. For example, when Charlie visits Tris’ house after she dies, her mother tells him that Tris is out and will be back soon. This could be interpreted as her mother not yet accepting that her daughter is dead.
So, does Tris die in the movies? Unfortunately, there is no clear answer. It is up to each individual interpretation.

However, she eventually decides to give their relationship a chance after realizing how much Augustus cares for her.
