* The only thing that seems to make Peeta Mellark angst in ''Literature/TheHungerGames'' is [[spoiler:being hijacked by the Capitol.]] And even that is the result of [[spoiler:brainwashing targeted to make people frightened and anguished.]] The list of things he shows no signs of angsting over include having killer wasps dropped on him while sleeping, taking a sword to the leg, nearly dying of sepsis, being forced to listen to someone being slowly chewed to death over several hours, having his leg amputated and finding out the girl he loves only pretended to love him back. And that's just from the first book. By the end of the series the list also includes [[spoiler:having to go back in the arena, nearly dying from electrocution, killing people, losing his entire family in a bomb raid, being tortured, being forced to watch and listen to others being tortured, deciding to give up his own life so that the girl he loves can be with another guy, and being severely burned.]] Even his nightmares are mostly about losing Katniss and not about the horrors he's lived through.
** Gale doesn't spend much time angsting either. Not even when he's been flogged within an inch of his life.
