        In A Midsummer's Night Dream and my novel Catching Fire the themes are very similar. They are similar because in A Midsummer's Night Dream Helena wants to rebel against her father and marry the man he doesn't want her to and in Catching Fire Katniss has the idea to rebel against the capital and president snow by running away with Peeta and Gale and their families. They are very similar because both are rebelling against something for the thing that they believe in. I find that the characters that are doing this are also alike because both will stand up for what they believe in and what they think is right. Both of these characters want to run away and rebel but I don't think that is a very good idea because for Helena her father will kill her and for Katniss she will get killed by a very cruel president snow. Both of the characters are facing a internal struggle on what to do, whether to run away or to face the problem and probably die. In both situations for the characters when they wish to stay they will die from others from there own actions.
