Katniss and Peeta at the opening ceremony and the meanings of their relationship.

The scene when Katniss and Peeta showed up in front of the Capitol in the opening ceremony made most of people in the Capitol falling in love with them. But in fact, did Katniss and Peeta do that for any purpose?

In my opinion, I think the love from the crowd help Katniss and her partner a lot. First of all, the cheers gave her a hope rising up in her. There would be one sponsor take her on. Secondly, Katniss and Peeta became lover would show the other tributes that they should watch out for this couple, ally with them or kill them first. And lastly, it started a relationship between Katniss and Peeta. They might become lover for real. The story will be more interesting if this couple joined the games and they had to kill another for survival.
