CHARACTER:
The representation of the main character Jennifer Lawrence in the movie is of a strong,
independent yet loyal woman. This challenges the stereotypes and agenda of women as the ‘hero’
in the movie is female instead of male. In the movie, she is a very determined character who is
willing to sacrifice her life for others as she is put in a situation where she has to fight to stay alive
all for the entertainment of others.

up, this then illustrates the character that she is
determined to fight even though she is fighting
against a male who is much more bigger than
her.
