Oh, I meant she is Sansa in reverse, not Sansa proper. :D I like your comparison with Robb , it is quite fitting! Love it actually. but I don't like Robb (well, I don't hate him but he is such a silly boy).
I don't mind her not wanting to be some silly banner for revolution. But what I DO mind is her total "me me me" attitude, and her not noticing anyone around her. Things like her whining : "Haymitch, I hate him. Why did Haymitch rescue meeeeeeeeee? Why didn't he tell me the plans?" . I mean - SHOW A BIT OF GRATITUDE! You are alive and Peeta is alive, and you could have been dead!
It is clear that no-one is telling her any plans because she has no brains to understand? And everyone is manipulating her because she is so easy to manipulate?
Oh, and the lack of brains. It is subjective dislike, but I do dislike the "brainless girl" stereotype. i hate it much more than I hate "damsel in distress" stereotype. People, there is no evidence that girls are less brainy than boys. NO EVIDENCE AT ALL.
GRGRGRGRGR. I am so angry lydzi, I am not ever fair, I know, but at the same time - this is not a feminist book, not by a long shot, not even when I calm down. I feel as if I was looking forward to a nice chocolate in a nice wrapping and when I unwrapped it.. it was something else. I am glad now that some actress I don't particular like is playing Katniss.
