    Through the use of language techniques and character manipulation she portrays this contriving conviction to the reader. Katniss uses an imperative "Okay, I figured out what I'm asking," I say. "If it is Peeta and me in the Games, this time we try to keep him alive." To convey her wishes to save Peeta and the addition of the italics of the word “him” enhances the depth of her feelings. “And one of us is going to be victor again whether you two like it or not!” through the use of his indifferent tone Peeta conveys his courage to Katniss which also acts to empower her. He shows his courage, as he knows that he may not survive, as it is his plan to do anything possible to save Katniss just as she plans to do for him. This is where the major conflicting perspective lies between the two as they are both attempting to save the others life because of their resonating love. This is similar to the conflict between Brutus and Cassius where Brutus kills Caesar for the good of Rome “not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more” the use of juxtaposition accentuates the love that Brutus has for Rome just like the love Peeta and Katniss have for each other and how powerful a motivator this can be in any situation. Cassius on the other hand is motivated by his greed and jealousy “this man is now become a god, and Cassius is a wretched creature, and must bend his body if Caesar carelessly but nod on him” The use of hyperbole and metaphor emphasizes this and resonates the conflicting motives between Cassius and Brutus. The Quarter Quell of the Hunger games sets the perfect background for Collins to shape the characters in a way that reflects her perceived viewpoint of conflicting perspectives which is also presented to the audience by Shakespeare in the events…
