The book carries feminist elements right from the start. Katniss's gender is not fixed but changes throughout the story. The role of men and women seems to be balanced within society in The Hunger Games. Therefore, we cannot talk about gender inequality as both men and women take up the same roles.
It's her ability to find strength in other women—and to support them in return—that makes the girl on fire a feminist. When Katniss befriends Rue, she forms an feminist archetype: an alliance of women who support each other in the face of oppression.
The society in which they live conducts an annual reaping, selecting twelve girls and twelve boys to compete against one another for survival, creating a world in which boys and girls have equal power and equal opportunity for survival.
So, as circumstances influence her behavior, she is per- forming masculinity through her actions. Katniss's ability to hunt and fight disconnects her from traditional gender roles. She is considered feminine because of how she cares and nurtures, but she is also considered masculine due to her behavior in combat.
How is Katniss Everdeen described in the books? Katniss is first described in The Hunger Games as a thin young woman with dark hair, olive-toned skin, and gray eyes. In the first book, she is 16 years old. She is unremarkable in District 12, and some make fun of her for being scrawny and underfed.
According to the American Library Association, The Hunger Games has been banned or challenged "due to insensitivity, offensive language, violence, anti-family, anti-ethic, and occult/satanic" and the 2014 addition of "inserted religious views." While there's clear violence and horrific death scenes in The Hunger Games ...
'Hunger Games' Director Francis Lawrence Calls Katniss Everdeen 'Asexual' And Lucy Gray Her 'Opposite' Hunger Games' director Francis Lawrence says the character of protagonist Katniss Everdeen is "asexual", while Lucy Gray "wears her sexuality on her sleeve."
Katniss has been working to keep her family alive during the many years since her father's death. She is a tomboy. She is strong, well fed and knows how to use a bow and arrow. She has many of the survival skills that her peers lack.
Peeta is the male tribute representing District 12 in the 74th annual Hunger Games, alongside female tribute Katniss Everdeen (portrayed by Jennifer Lawrence).

It critiques the idea that someone is lesser than another person because of their socioeconomic status, background, or other things people can't control about themselves. The Hunger Games explores the ways people are oppressed and advocate for freedom, and that is perfectly aligned with feminism.
Gale is jealous of Peeta and the relationship he has with Katniss, and he wants Katniss to decide between them, though he doesn't press Katniss during her recovery in District 13. Gale is an excellent hunter and excels at setting snares and traps.
It's only implied that they get it on via snuggling and other affectionate acts in close quarters — but if you have read the book, they really imply that they took their relationship to the next level.
Katniss's focus on survival and her family's safety prevented her from fully considering romance, but her feelings for Peeta and Gale diverged in the end. Katniss ultimately chose Peeta because he understood her trauma and she didn't want to lose him, proving her love for him.
Thus, the audience doesn't know how old Katniss is when she dies. The only information the audience has about Katniss' future is that she and Peeta have a child together 15 years after their experiences in the Rebellion (at 33 years old) and that five years later, they have a second child.
