Katniss Everdeen was written as someone who had already been hardened by years of survival. The books described her as thin, sharp, and constantly on edge. Jennifer Lawrence kept the resilience but added more emotional weight to Katniss’s actions. Instead of being purely tough, Lawrence’s version of Katniss shows hesitation and fear, making her feel more human. She looked like someone trying to survive them in real time. The approach shifted the focus from her being a skilled hunter to someone who was overwhelmed but determined to push through. Her facial expressions often revealed doubt, and her body language suggested discomfort rather than confidence.
