At the beginning, Katniss
is:
1. Adventurous: She hunts in an area in which
"poaching carries the severest of penalties". Others hunt but they do not venture as
far into the woods as Katniss does. She hunts with a bow which is a forbidden
weapon.
2. Responsible: She is the only person supplying
her family with food and the necessary goods needed for her mother to run their
pharmacy. Her father is dead, and she has taken on that role. She exchanges herself for
Prim when Prim's name is called during the Reaping.
3.
Trusting: She allows the government to lead her in any direction it chooses. She
listens to Haymitch, and she does not understand what is happening, so she easily goes
along with it .
After the Hunger Games, she
is:
1. Aware: She realizes that people do what they do
because they "have no choice" (348). She also realized that "I am the instigator. I am
the one to be punished." (pg 364). She understands that the Capitol manipulates
everything.
2. Cunning: she realizes "now the Capitol will
act as if they've been in control th whole time..... But that will only work if I play
along with them." (pg358). She pretends to be in love with Peeta so that they will
think that was her motivation for almost swallowing the
berries.
3. Confused: She doesn't know how she feels about
Peeta. "The closer to District Twelve, the more confused I get." (pg 372). She doesn't
know how things are with Gale. She cannot believe that he can love her after what they
have been through in the Games.
