Themes and Analysis

The hunger games, by suzanne collins.

As a post-apocalyptic dystopian novel, 'The Hunger Games' captures several intriguing themes including oppression and societal inequality.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins has risen in popularity ever since its release in 2008. Part of the reason for its fame is the riveting themes that it captures, all of which are central to the post-apocalyptic and dystopian nature of the novel. Some of the themes that can be gleaned from the novel include the theme of oppression, inequality, appearances, celebrity culture, as well as violence.

The Hunger Games Themes

Oppression and inequality.

The authorities in the Capitol maintain their positions of power through wealth, fear, and rivalry. All districts in the totalitarian nation of Panem are kept under varying degrees of poverty and are routinely pitted against each other in the form of the Hunger Games. The wealthier districts have a distinct advantage over the poorer ones in the Games. For instance, the tributes from Districts 1, 2, and 4 make it their mission to train specifically for the Games – and are even known as “ Career tributes .”

The status quo is maintained by “Peacemakers,” who, hypocritically, ensure that the control remains in the hands of the capital by any means necessary, including violence. Those who rebel are either obliterated or silenced to become Avox , i.e., people who have had their tongues cut off and are now acting as servants at the Capitol .

The censorship of the media is another way to maintain control. The districts are not allowed to contact one another, and they have no access to information other than what is provided to them by the authorities. 

Appearances and Celebrity Culture

Appearances are extremely important in Panem. Those who live at the Capitol show off their wealth and power through their appearances. They wear gaudy clothes, ostentatious accessories, and bright colors to demonstrate their money, power, and influence at the Capitol.

Appearances are vital in the Hunger Games. To gain sponsors for life-saving gifts during the Games, each tribute must make himself/herself appealing to the public. Thus, the tributes are all provided with a bevy of stylists and advisors who dress them up in fashionable costumes and teach them the ways of the wealthy. The better the appearances of the tribute, the larger the chances of sponsors. This is similar to celebrity culture in real life – who need to keep up appearances for the sake of lucrative deals and sponsors. 

Katniss understands the importance of appearances and decides to play the part of a star-crossed lover for the cameras. Peeta complies, having always been perceptive about the significance of appearances and making lasting impressions. Although Peeta genuinely harbored feelings for Katniss, he decides to reveal his feelings at a strategic moment – only to gain sympathy and affection from the public.

Violence 

Violence is a recurring theme in The Hunger Games . The authorities of the Capitol are not averse to using violence to maintain the illusion of “peace” in the nation. The Peacemakers routinely punish those who rebel and do not hesitate to exert their power over the people from the 12 districts.

Moreover, the very notion of the Hunger Games is violent. Children are dehumanized from an extremely young age – and are taught to maim and kill other children to survive.

Analysis of Key Moments in The Hunger Games

• Katniss’s sister, Primrose Everdeen is picked as the female tribute from District 12 for the Hunger Games. 
• Katniss volunteers herself instead and is joined by the male tribute, Peeta Mellark as they head to the Capitol.
• Katniss and Peeta convince their drunk mentor , Haymitch Abernathy , to take his duties seriously.
• The duo wins the affections of the public during the opening ceremony, with the help of the flaming costumes designed by Cinna .
• Peeta reveals that he is in love with Katniss during the pre-Games interview.
• The Games begin, and Katniss flees the Cornucopia . She finds out that Peeta has teamed up with the “Career” tributes.
• An artificial fire is created to push Katniss towards the Careers. She hides from them in a tree.
• Katniss and Rue drop a nest of tracker jackers to escape from the Careers. Peeta comes back to help Katniss escape.
• Katniss and Rue blow up the supplies of the Career tributes. Rue is killed by another tribute.
• A rule change is announced, allowing two tributes from the same district to emerge as victors . Katniss and Peeta team up.
• The duo becomes romantically attached, and emerge as the two remaining survivors.
• Another rule change is announced, stating that there can only be one victor for the Games.
• Katniss and Peeta decide to kill themselves together when the Games are hurriedly ended and they both emerge victorious.
• Katniss recuperates for days at the Training Centre, after which she is informed by Haymitch that she’s in danger for her acts of rebellion.

Writing Style and Tone

The writing style employed by the author is simple and precise – easy for young adults to comprehend. The tone is blunt, dark, and often horrifying, reflecting the seriousness of the novel. The novel is written from the point of view of the heroine, Katniss Everdeen , who acts as an unreliable narrator.

I can’t win. Prim must know that in her heart. The competition will be far beyond my abilities. Kids from wealthier districts, where winning is a huge honor, who’ve been trained their whole lives for this.

Symbols, Motifs, and Allegory

Families are given tesserae (food rations) each year by the Capitol. This is one of the most important ways in which the Capitol maintains control over the districts . Families are also given extra tesserae for entering the names of their children more than once in the annual reaping for the Hunger Games – an act that increases their chances of being picked for the Hunger Games.

The Mockingjay Pin

The Mockingjay Pin symbolizes Katniss’s individuality and free spirit. The pin captures the Mockingjay bird, i.e., a hybrid between a Jabberjay (a bird that was genetically modified to act as spies for the government) and a Mockingbird. The symbol of the Mockingjay is used to represent rebellion and assertion of identity by several people, including Katniss, Madge, and Rue.

Entertainment and Reality Television

The novel showcases an extremely twisted form of mass entertainment – which comes in the form of suffering. Parallels can be drawn to the reality television of this world, where people are pitted against each other for the entertainment of viewers. Just like the people in reality television are required to appeal to the public to gain votes, the tributes in the Hunger Games are also required to appeal to gain sponsors. 

This kind of entertainment is voyeuristic, and the people from the Capitol revel in the violent nature of the Games. It is highly sadistic, and it does not matter whether the suffering is physical or psychological. For instance, there is a huge fascination behind the romance between Katniss and Peeta. The main appeal for this romance is the fact that it is doomed no matter what, because of the tragic ending that awaits the lovers.

The Hunger Games also resembles reality television in the fact that it is widely televised and constantly talked about in the media at Panem. It objectifies the tributes much like reality television objectifies contestants. 

Is rebellion a theme in The Hunger Games ?

Yes, rebellion is a theme in The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. There are several instances in the novel when Katniss, and sometimes even Peeta, rebel against the oppressive Capitol. However, this theme is not as prevalent in the first novel as it is in the next two novels in the trilogy, Catching Fire and Mockingjay .

What skill is Gale better at than Katniss?

Gale and Katniss are both highly skilled at survival. While Katniss is exceptionally skilled with a bow and arrow (routinely using it for hunting and killing animals), Gale is better at setting snares for prey.

How is Katniss a rebel?

Katniss’s rebellion starts from the very beginning when she volunteers herself as a tribute in the Hunger Games. Instead of willingly going through every oppressive act that the capital makes her do, she defies the authorities and rebels whenever she can. Her ultimate act of rebellion, however, is seen at the end of the novel when she decides to poison herself along with Peeta – to leave the Games without a victor.

What is Katniss’s sister’s full name?

Katniss’s sister’s full name in The Hunger Games is Primrose Everdeen. Her name is often shortened to Prim. She is a 12-year-old girl whose name is drawn at the reaping of the 74th edition of the Hunger Games. However, she is saved from participating in the game by her sister Katniss, who volunteers herself instead.

Description

You can use this PowerPoint presentation to teach theme and to also teach students the skill of locating and collecting quotes for another project like a presentation or essay.

This 30 slide PowerPoint presentation includes the definition of a theme, an explanation of how to figure out a theme, and it covers nine topics that are turned into a theme: survival, humanity, inhumanity, government control, reality TV/desensitization, hope, hunger, starvation, and trust.

The direct quotes from the novel are only taken from the beginning of the novel to page 30 so that students can continue collecting quotes for the rest of the novel on their own; this is a guide and exemplar for them. You can ask students not to use these quotes in their presentations, essays, or any other project you assign as they should be using critical thinking skills to find the quotes themselves.

Words/ideas on each slide are highlighted red to emphasize the importance or support the idea presented on that slide. Also, if you are having students copy down the presentation, they can focus on copying the ideas/words highlighted in red.

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

Presentation Transcript

Suzanne Collins The Hunger Games

Before “The Hunger Games” there was a “Battle Royale.” • Battle Royaleis anovel by Japanese writer KoushunTakami. Originally completed in 1996, it was not published until 1999. The story tells of junior high school students who are forced to fight each other to the death in a program run by the authoritarian Japanese government, now known as the Republic of Greater East Asia. “42 students. Only one way to survive.”

Battle Royale vs. The Hunger Games • Battle Royale was adapted into a 2000 feature film of the same name. In June 2006, there was intention to produce an American film adaptation, however, after the Virginia Tech massacre in April 2007, the prospects for the project were "seriously shaken.“ • In 2012, a remake would no longer be possible due to the release of the film adaptation of The Hunger Games, which has been criticized for its similarities to Battle Royale because, "Audiences would see it as just a copy of Games — most of them wouldn't know that Battle Royale came first.”

About the Author: Suzanne Collins • Before becoming a writer of novels, Suzanne Collinswas an adult playwright and a writer for a number of critically acclaimed children’s television shows. • Since then she has written a popular fantasy book series for middle-schoolers, entitled The Overland Chronicles, as well as the children’s picture book, When Charlie McButton Lost Power, illustrated by Mike Lester. • Ms. Collins’s most recent series is a fictional trilogy; The Hunger Games is the first title in the series, Catching Fire the second and Mockingjay the third. The series is about a girl named Katniss who lives in the futuristic country of Panem.

Allusions/Classical Inspirations • The author’s inspiration for this series is rooted in Greek mythology and ancient Roman history. ”In keeping with my classical roots, I send my tributes into an updated version of the Roman gladiator games, which entails a ruthless government forcing people to fight to the death as popular entertainment. The world of Panem, particularly in the Capitol, is loaded with Roman references. Panem itself comes from the expression “Panem et Circenes,” which translates to “Bread and Circuses.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEmJJIl7rp0&list=PLC94B8E72D765201B • The audiences for both the Roman games and reality TV are almost characters in themselves. They can respond with great enthusiasm or play a role in your elimination.

Contemporary Inspirations • The audiences for both the Roman games and reality TV are almost characters in themselves. They can respond with great enthusiasm or play a role in your elimination. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUTPQCYVZEQ&list=PLC94B8E72D765201B

Dystopian Fiction • The Hunger Games series is considered dystopian fiction, a type of fiction that features a world in which people live in miserable conditions and that often involves war, oppression, violence, suffering, lack of freedom, and poverty. • ***STOP*** In small groups, name as many examples as possible to describe the above concepts in our current society.

Desensitization • Though these issues are tough, Ms. Collins thinks many young adults are able to handle the concepts presented in her books. Her hope is that readers will come away from The Hunger Games,Catching Fire and Mockingjay with “questions about how the elements of the book relate to their own lives—and, if they’re disturbing, what they will do about them.” • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtLR-THbnHk&list=PLC94B8E72D765201B

Introduction: • The novel takes place in North America after a long string of natural disasters. Encroaching ocean tides have changed the face of the continent, and wars have led to political restructuring of the region. Where once there were Mexico, the United States, and Canada, now there is a new country called Panem. • The ruling elite of Panem live luxuriously in the Capitol, a city west of the Rocky Mountains, while Panem’s other inhabitants struggle to exist in the Capitol’s thirteen surrounding districts. Citizens in Districts 1 through 12 live in service to the Capitol, and those in District 13 are believed to have been wiped out, because they rebelled against Panem’s government.

Katniss: • Life in the districts is focused purely on survival. Each district has a specific industry that makes it useful to the Capitol, and the livelihood of the district’s people depends on their ability to work in that industry. Citizens have little knowledge of what goes on in neighboring districts, and cruelly enforced laws ensure their dependence on the Capitol for food and supplies. • The Hunger Games is the story of Katniss, a sixteen-year-old girl who lives in District 12. In this district, once called Appalachia and now nicknamed “The Seam,” coal mining is the industry. • However, Katniss makes her living as an outlaw. She provides for her family by hunting wild game outside district boundaries and selling it on the Black Market, know as “The Hob,” that is, until she’s caught up in the Capitol’s most insidious strategy for terrorizing the districts.

The Games: • Every year, the Capitol forces districts to participate in a televised event called The Hunger Games. • The Games commemorate the Dark Days, a period of rebellion that ended with the destruction of District 13. They celebrate the Capitol’s complete control over the districts, and they continue a punishment that has been passed down for seventy-four years. Each district must provide two tributes, one boy and one girl, to fight to the death in an arena match. Out of twenty-four tributes, only one survives.

Symbols, Motifs& Allusions • A symbol is an object that represents, stands for, or suggests an idea, visual image, belief, action, or material entity. • Symbols take the form of words, sounds, gestures, or visual images and are used to convey ideas and beliefs.  Symbolism is the use of symbols to signify ideas and qualities by giving them meanings that are different from their literal sense. • Symbols do shift their meanings depending on the context they are used in. “A chain”, for example, may stand for “union” as well as “imprisonment”. Symbolic meanings of an object or an action are understood by when, where and how they are used. • Oranges • Miss America • Fire • Costumes • Mockingjay • * • * • * • *

Motif & Theme • Motif is an object or idea that repeats itself throughout a literary work. • In a literary work, a motif can be seen as an image, sound, action or other figures that have a symbolic significance and contributes toward the development of theme. Motif and theme are linked in a literary work but there is a difference between them. • In a literary piece, a motif is a recurrent image, idea or a symbol that develops or explains a theme while a theme is a central idea or message.

Allusions • An allusion is figure of speech that makes reference to a concept, person, thing, or event. • The allusion is often indirect and can come from any number of sources such as literature, history, religion, myths and legends, or popular culture. • When an author or speaker alludes to something, he or she assumes that the reader or listener will recognize the reference and will be familiar with the source.

5 Types of Allusion 1. Classical (Greek/Latin culture and mythology) Example: “I thought the software would be useful, but it was a Trojan Horse.” 2. Biblical (from the Bible) Example: “This place is like a Garden of Eden.” 3. Literary (from literature) Example: “I was surprised his nose was not growing like Pinocchio’s.” 4. Historical (major historical events) Example” “I stand of the fifth amendment.” 5. Cultural (pop culture, real-life people, events, or concepts) Example: “I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse.”
