Quote #7

"The Dauntless are all about conformity, just like every other faction. It's just not as obvious here." (2.261)

That newfound freedom is short-lived, huh? How free can you be in a society that values conformity?

Quote #8

"Don't be naïve. […] They don't want a new leader; they want a pawn they can manipulate." (3.219)

Four learns that other factions are just as manipulative as Marcus is in Abnegation. And in this case, the conspiracy to limit freedom runs a lot deeper than just one abusive jerk.

Quote #9

I will not be molded and shaped by Jeanine Matthews. I will not be a pawn, not for them and not for my mother and not for my father; I will not belong to anyone but myself. (3.263)

Four worked hard gaining his freedom, creating a new identity, and basically becoming independent. He's never going back to a life of confinement.
