In this chapter Tris heads back to the bunks after a shower, with only a towel on. Peter and his gang happen to be the only other initiates in the room, so she gets cornered. As Tris tries to dash away, Peter snags her towel. She's revealed to the whole group of bullies. This is especially bad for Tris, kind of the final straw. I admit, I did feel bad for her when I read this chapter, when this book hasn't really evoked any empathy from me yet.
The next scene is in the fight room, and Tris is matched up with Molly. Tris goes crazy, and starts beating Molly even after she's downed, leaving Molly in a bloody mess. Four pulls her off, and Tris is left to think; "I wish I felt guilty for what I did." I hate when characters get like this. "Oh, I did something sort of bad to a villain, I'm just as bad as said villain." No. We all wanted to see that villain get what they deserve.
