Oh man, you have no idea how much I've argued about the Bella vs Katniss debate and how really, when you get down to the bones of it, Bella has more agency than Katniss because Bella knows what she wants, goes after it and gets it whereas Katniss falls apart as the trilogy continues and becomes a pawn. And I realize that was likely the message Collins was going for -- the effect of war on children, the effect of war on soldiers -- it's unfortunate when people bounce around saying KATNISS IS THE BEST EVAR when, uh, sure, she's an action girl but she's an action girl who's pushed around by her environment and controlled by other people most of the time.
