Thinking about how Suzanne Collins writes romance in The Hunger Games along the lines of the soulmate myth where two halves of a whole complete one another

#and thg is very inspired by greek mythology so the soulmate myth was very likely incorporated on purpose #the concept of needing someone to be yourself #annie and finnick always being described as one being especially gets to me #like thats just platos concepts verbatim #also another tangent but hunger games explores the different types of love like agape or eros all of which were coined by plato #its all really done well because at the end of the day miss collins penned love is necessary and it shows throughout the entire story #love that everlark not only represents choice between war/peace but also your other half that makes up for what you lack #the hunger games #thg #katniss everdeen #peeta mellark #everlark #finnick odair #annie cresta #odesta #greek mythology
