The New York Times posted an
article titled, “A Radical Female Hero from Dystopia” which is about the
different characters in “The Hunger Games.” Katniss Everdeen was one of the
main characters that appeared in the movie, who is mainly talked about in the
article. The article talks about the sales of the trilogy. Other characters in
the movie were Manohla Dargis and A. O. Scott, but more characters were in the movie
that is not mentioned in this article.
A
lot of information is presented in the New York Time about Katniss. For
example, “She is different, though, not only because she is a woman but also
because she is anything but a free, rootless figure of the wilderness.” Katniss
is a person who fights for her life with weapons. She also is a person with
multiple identities. Examples include athlete, daughter, girlfriend, sister,
and a warrior. Katniss is also a hero. The article also discusses how Katniss looks
like an adult in the movie, but really she is still a teenager. She shifts
between both masculinity and femininity. Her masculinity is to kill and her femininity
is to nurture. The key feature of Katniss is her face.
The
article from the New York Times shows the different roles Katniss plays. The two
teams, team Petta and team Gale that are represented in the movie. She is a powerful female character. Katniss
is described as strong, active, and who motivates the story. This description
describes her perfectly.
