Gender Roles in Antigone, Anthem, and The Hunger Games

Ismene and Antigone are two different women, one who holds the typical "woman" like standard and one who does not. I think that Ismene is more like the usual view of a woman, obeying the laws that Creon puts down, while Antigone is the one disobeying the laws of her country and doing the dirtywork of burying her brother. Ismene seems to change slightly by showing bravery and disobediance when Antigone is caught. In the other books, The Hunger Games and Anthem, the characters show a element of not being typical girls either. Katniss, from The Hunger Games, is strong and knows how to kill, which is today not a Feminine like stereotypical feature. The Golden One from Anthem, is also less Feminine like antigone because she disobeys the rules of the anthem city.
