Honestly, Maxon, you could have established an education system that mixes all the casts children together, teach them to see each other as equals. As we see, this middle of the road approach causes major unrest. Of all of the ways Maxon could have ended the casts he choose the dumbest way possible! I don’t think Maxon should have taken a page out the history and changed the country over-night, but he blew it! Ending the casts slowly, but all within one lifetime was doomed to fail. He also failed in his handling of eliminating the casts. Maxon is really a terrible king! He uses the selection to placate and distract the people from their problems, just like his own father did.

Princess Eadlyn’s parents have almost begged her to host another Selection to distract the people.

All of the crowd is astounded as there have only ever been Selections for princes- not princesses.
