and offers an analysis of a chosen female

features and motifs of YAD of the 20th and
21st century. The second part of the article
focuses on the presentation of a chosen
YAD heroine based on the example of the
rebel Katniss Everdeen, the main character
of the novel ‘The Hunger Games’ by
Suzanne Collins.
