Books Playing the Role of the Sterotype

                Antigone and Ismene both show strong charcteristics of the women sterotype. An example of this is when Antigone was asking Ismene to help her bury the body of her brother which should the sterotypes that women are physically weak and that they are constatnly asking for help. Another example of feminant steroytypes represented in other books such as Anthem is that (even with all the strict rules) women had a lack of rights and job oppurtunities. But the feminant sterotype is not shown as much in Hunger Games, instead of everyone expecting Peeta to win, everybody expected Catnis to win in a game of strengths. This character does not follow the role of the stereotypical "female role". In most books, the women are thought of as weak which Antigone portrays very well as already explained in the beginning when she asks for help to bury her brothers body.
