Peeta and Katniss at the beginning of Catching Fire

[Provo]

What emotions does Peeta stir in Katniss? Though she is stiff and formal with him, what are her true feelings? How did the events in the first Games affect their relationship?

[Adrienne]

I think Peeta stirs up a lot of confusion for Katniss; even though she does care about him (although I'm not sure to what extent and on what level), she is so influenced by how she acted in order to survive the games, that her true feelings haven't even really had a chance to develop. The games threw them together but it didn't give Katniss any sort of chance to figure out her own heart.
