| Atalanta and Maleagar (Jacob Jordaens) |
Dr. Toffee has The Hunger Games in the Women's Studies category, but I've decided to use a myth criticism approach. The way I understand it, I can discuss the characters and setting as archetypes and the scene I select as to where it fits into the pattern of the hero's journey. What's interesting to me about this has to do with there being few archetypes of female heroes, which means I'm going to have to figure out which one of the male archetypes she fits. And, since I have to talk about that male to female transformation (for lack of a better word), I'll be generating material for the paper right there! It's a win-win choice.
