The main points of The Metamorphosis of Katniss Everdeen: The Hunger Games, Myth and Feminity

Katniss uses her bow to combat injustice when she hunts in a forbidden area in order to provide her family with needed food.

Her gender identity is shaped more by masculinity than by traditional femininity.

Katniss is devoted to her younger sister Primrose.

She has to take over being the provider for her family which is a typical male role.

Haymitch works on making Katniss attractive to the audience during the interviews in order to win sponsors.

The fabricated romance with Peeta is for the same purpose.

When Rue dies Katniss experiences some of the hopelessness when Prim was chosen as a tribute.

The only reason the rebels rescued Katniss from the quarter quell was so she could be used as the Mockinjay propaganda person.

That Katniss was willing to have children in the epilogue shows just how much Panem has changed.
