My Favorite Interpretation Is Peeta Is A Very Likable And Kind Dude In The Mind Of Almost Everyone Who

my favorite interpretation is peeta is a very likable and kind dude in the mind of almost everyone who gets to know him. but he’s not the epitome of hope or goodness or all things wonderful to anyone else besides katniss. and she’s completely oblivious to this fact.

like she spends half of catching fire wondering which of his good qualities was motivating the other tributes to sacrifice themselves for him. even knowing she was the face and inspiration for all the uprisings, the fact that everyone — rightfully — thought she would literally die if she lost her fiancé doesn’t cross her mind at all. the fact that they may be keeping peeta alive for her is like nowhere in her head. her whole thought process at one point in the arena is literally “everyone must see how good peeta truly is, the way he’s so charming and charismatic and powerful with crowds-”

like girl, shut up. you’re completely head over heels in love with him. to everyone else, he’s just some guy.
