Blog#5-connection between msnd and current book

The connection I am making between Mid-Summer Nights Dream and Catching Fire would be the main character Katniss Everdeen and Hermia.  The first similarity between the characters is that they are rebellious.  Katniss is rebelling against the Capitol whereas Hermia is rebelling against her parents.  Katniss rebels by hunting and gathering in the woods and winning the hunger games with Peeta.  Hermia is rebellious against her parents because they want her to marry Demetrius, but she is in love with Lysander.  She has the choice to marry Demetrius, get killed, or become a nun.  Hermia decides against all her options to run into the woods with Lysander and get married outside of Athens.  Another similarity is that they both plan to run away from home.  Katniss plans to run away with Gale, Peeta and their families because they know what the capitol is planning to do to them.   Katniss and Peeta won the games together and many districts are starting to rebel against the capitol because they did.   They are planning to run away to District 13, the supposedly destroyed district in order to save themselves.  Hermia is planning to run away into the woods with Lysander.  She plans to run to the forest where the Athenian law can no longer reach them.  They want to get married where they will not be thrown in jail or killed by Theseus.    Another connection that I can make between the two characters is that they both are forced into love.  Katniss has to pretend she is in love with Peeta in order to please the capitol. Hermia Is forced to marry Demetrius in order to please her parents. The final connection between Katniss and Hermia is that they have many complications with their lovers.  Katniss is in love with Gale but also deeply cares for Peeta.  Katniss has to pretend to be deeply in love with Peeta for the capitol but quickly falls out of love when they are not watching.  Although Katniss isn’t in love with Peeta, he is deeply in love with her.  This is similar to Hermia because she is in love with Lysander but is supposed to love and get married to Demetrius.  Although Hermia doesn’t love Demetrius, he is deeply in love with her.
