We meet our antagonist a second time and this time she speaks more--she is cruel, cold, and sarcastic, but so is Tobias, give or take. They banter with one another with some smart and snide comments until Jeanine gets angry. Tobias refuses to be broken by her words meanwhile Tris is dizzy with blood loss from a gunshot wound to her shoulder.
Jeanine is actually one of the weaker descriptions that Roth has. Tris' description of her attitude and her words simply don't match up. "She is more machine than maniac. She sees problems and she finds systematic solutions to them." Yet, Roth gives her speech a rather emotive quality. Her criticism of Abnegation--using simple words like "idiot" just doesn't strike me as that of the most intelligent person in their entire society? He presence is strong, but he description is rather sloppy.
Either way, Jeanine monologues a bit about a serum that is immune to Divergence, deciding Tobias would make a perfect test as Tris is too injured to be of any use. Tobias tries to strike her but he's out numbered. Jeanine shoves the needle in his neck and he falls under, even ready to attack Tris as he loses his sense of surrounding and reasoning.
Tris describes her reaction as, "I feel numb inside, but outside I am a screaming, thrashing force of will."
Another A+ Sentence by Veronica Roth.
