Fear Quotes in Four

How we cite our quotes: (Part.Paragraph)

Quote #4

I close my eyes, and I'm frozen; I can't even push myself off the roof. All I can do is tilt and fall. (1.241)

If you've read Divergent, this might surprise you. Tris is much more fearless than Four is. She jumps into the Pit first. Tobias/Four doesn't even jump… he just falls in.

Quote #5

I'm not afraid of the speed of the train, just the heights, but here the train is close to the ground, so when I jump, I do it without fear. (2.48)

It's interesting how specific fears can be. For Four, a speeding train = fine, but anything high up = sheer terror.

Quote #6

Even though I am the initiate with only four fears, I am also the one who can't dispel them when the simulations are done. (2.320)

Four's four fears are intense, mainly because they're the result of years and years of abuse from his father. That type of thing is almost impossible to shake, even for the bravest person.
