It was her virtue that defined whether she was to be esteemed or denounced. Women were expected to embody, “chastity, courage, tenacity, and unquestioning acceptance of the prevailing hierarchy- unto death if necessary.”(p.100) This literally meant that suicide was a desirable recourse in order to protect the woman’s virtue or that of her husband’s. A woman’s loyalty to her husband was paramount. A story is told of a young girl who’s betrothed was slandered so her family arranged another marriage, but instead of allowing herself to be married to another man, she hung herself in order to stay true to her rightful husband. This demonstration of loyalty was deemed worthy and right, instilling a complete dependence of a wife on her husband.

I think Ismene changed her mid because Antigone is her sister and you always stand up for family. She didn’t want to commit the crime because she was trying to talk Antigone out of doing the crime. In the end Ismene is the only one who lives and has a kind of guilt free life. She may not have family left besides Creon but at least she tried to save them. I think out all the characters she made the smarter choices and she thought about the consequences.

It can be seen that once Katniss the protagonist volunteers to sacrifice herself to save her sister and participate in the hunger games, she is fare-welled and supported by the mayor’s daughter Madge Undersee, and therefore the protagonist’s actions enhance the notion that institution’s restrict individual’s liberties. This can be seen through the symbolism where Madge presents Katniss with a golden mocking-jay pin stating "They let you wear one thing from your district in the arena. Will you wear this?” A mocking-jay is seen as "something of a slap in the face to the Capitol" as the jabber-jays sent out by the capitol were meant to spy on their enemies but as they were discovered the capitol abandoned them and the jabber-jay bred with the mockingbird. This subtle rebellion played by Katniss is seen as a rallying point for the rest of Panem and the eventual uprising against the institution to allow them to regain their liberties and freedoms. Throughout To Kill a Mockingbird and The Hunger Games we see societies, oppressed by their relative institutions, which hold them captive.
