Katniss, the heroine
Katniss Everdeen is the main character of the literary and cinematographic trilogy The Hunger Games”. This futuristic dystopia takes place in Panem, which is the location of the current United States. This country is divided into 13 districts ruled by the dictatorial authority of the Capitol. 75 years before the beginning of the story, the 13 districts revolted but failed to overthrow the government. The result was the destruction of District 13 and the creation of a “tradition” to punish the people for their revolt: The Hunger Games. Each year, two young people from each district are drawn and, in a huge arena, must fight to the death. The last survivor is crowned grand champion. During one of these draws in district 12, Katniss’ district, her younger sister is drawn. Katniss then volunteers to participate in her place. By refusing to kill and joining forces with the other candidate from her district, Peeta, who has always been in love with her, Katniss will set in motion a new uprising of all the people of Panem.
