Based on the best-selling young-adult novel by Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games tells the gloomy tale of a girl named Katniss Everdeen played by Jennifer Lawrence. In the movie, she volunteers to battle in a lethal tournament in which 24 tributes from ages 12 through 18 fight to their death for the amusement of the Capitol. In the future, North America, as a country, no longer exists. In its place has risen Panem, a nation divided into 12 districts. After randomly choosing a boy and a girl from each of the districts, a shady fixed government arena subjects them to a kill-or-be-killed hunt from which only one winner can arise. Every year, each district selects tributes to test their mental, physical, and emotional strength in a competition known as the Hunger Games. The Capitol’s purpose is to broadcast the tournament as entertainment and to reinforce the government's total power. When Katniss’s younger sister, Prim, is chosen as one of District 12's tribute, Katniss volunteers to take her spot. She trains under an always-inebriated former Hunger Games champion Haymitch Abernathy, played by Woody Harrelson, to hone her killer instincts. Now, in order to remain alive the tournament and be crowned the Hunger Games victor, this young warrior must put all of her ability to the ultimate test. “The Hunger Games” has been a sensation since its premiere, earning the kind of pre-opening gossip and advance ticket-sales that make the most doubtful Hollywood critics giggling like

How and why does Panem’s government oppress its citizens while keeping complete control? The “Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins is a dystopian novel with an extremely corrupt government that controls the citizens with the District system. The corrupt government in “The Hunger Games” finds various ways to suppress Panem’s occupants, including but not limited to artificial scarcity, a caste system, Avoxes, Tesseraes, lack of religion, and the Hunger games themselves. Artificial scarcity forces Panem’s occupants to be dependent on what the government gives to them through Tesseraes, or if not Tesseraes keep them on their toes and keep them in a weak state. The Districts create a caste system with those in lower castes thinking that those in higher Districts have more resources. Avoxes or criminals are symbols of destroyed hope. Panem’s lack of religion highlights how the government is like the absolute power of religion itself. The government oppresses its occupants through the District system including those in Districts One through Thirteen, and the capital. Using Marxism and Psychoanalytic theory will show the thinking behind the decisions of Panem in “The Hunger Games” that cause Panem to have such great power.

The lone survivor signifies the strength the capitol has over the twelve districts, and the dead tributes signify the districts, how powerless they are. I chose this movie from the rest because I feel it is less complex when it comes to fully analyzing it with the questions available.
